Itinerary

The marvelous wilderness of Yellowstone and the Gravelly Range is your gateway to an authentic vacation experience off the grid. This beginner-friendly cycling tour first takes you across the ridges of rugged mountains and then down to the banks of the Madison River. There will be a trusty guide by your side the whole way through, who will make sure you’re not hungry, bored, or lost. Nights are spent in camps deep in the backcountry, all meals, snacks, and beverages are included in the trip price, as well as the support vehicle and transportation throughout. Your guides can even arrange camping gear and bikes for you! What are you waiting for? Spend the next summer in the world's oldest national park!

Meet your guide in Bozeman at 8 am at the Hampton Inn Bozeman (75 Baxter Lane, Bozeman, Montana, 406-522-8000). Take a 2.5-hour drive to Ennis, Montana, home of millions of trout and a few people! Ennis is located near the beautiful Gravelly Range in the Beaverhead Deerlodge National Forest, just northwest of Yellowstone National Park.

After a quick pit stop, continue up into the mountains to the Gravelly Range Road, where you will unload and begin your ride for the day. The route takes you through beautiful alpine meadows dotted with wildflowers. And the views from up here—world class! A few strenuous climbs and fun descents bring you to your camp for the evening at Clover Meadows.

Meals: Lunch, dinner, and snacks
Distance: 10-15 miles / 16-24 km
Accommodation: Camping at Clover Meadows
After a hearty breakfast, continue down south, and this day soon becomes a big climbing day! There are three climbs ahead of you, but keep in mind that hopping into your shuttle is always available if you can’t push any more.

You will pass through more stunning meadows enroute, occasionally stumbling upon lingering snowfields. In this area, the wildlife is abundant and there’s an excellent chance of spotting deer, elk, moose, yellow-bellied marmots, and several species of birds of prey. Crossing your highpoint at Monument Ridge affords you with distant views of the rugged peaks in the Lee Metcalf Wilderness. After lunch, roll along towards Black Butte and camp near Black Butte cabin.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
Distance: 12 miles / 19 km, optional hike
Accommodation: Camping near Black Butte Cabin
This morning dawns with a one-mile climb and then a long descent. For the last two days, you have been traversing across the ridge and today you get to descend all the way to the Madison River.

Today’s ride is super fun as you lose almost 3,000 feet (915 m) over approximately 20 miles (32 km). Ride through huge stands of Lodgepole Pine, expansive meadows, through Wolverine Basin, and finally to the West Fork of the Madison River. Your riverside camp for the evening gives you the opportunity for a quick dip or maybe some fishing in the waters of the Madison (only if you brought your own pole and obtained a fishing license).

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
Distance: 20 miles / 32 km
Accommodation: Camping near the Madison
After riding through the Gravelly Range, load up the bikes, jump in the van, and shuttle over to Yellowstone National Park. Start your ride on one of the few dirt paths that allows bikes in Yellowstone and enjoy spectacular views of the park. Yellowstone is a treasure and inspires awe in anyone who travels through it. Between the geysers, thriving wildlife, and powerful waterfalls, you’ll keep admiring the park’s natural gems.

An afternoon route will take you right to Old Faithful along a combo of paved park roads and dirt bike paths. Old Faithful is the world’s best known geyser erupting every 90 minutes! Tour the area and the historic Old Faithful Inn and visitors center while waiting for the eruption. Your camp for your final evening will be inside the park at Grant Village on the West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake, North America’s largest mountain lake.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
Distance: 15 miles / 24 km
Accommodation: Camping on the West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake
After breakfast, drive from Grant Village through Hayden Valley along the famous Yellowstone River. You might spot moose, bison, and possibly even grizzly bears (all from the safety of a van)! Waterfowl, including white pelicans and trumpeter swans are also abundant in the marshy areas.

You will stop at the Mud Volcano, which will show you the varied thermal features of it, including Dragon’s Mouth Spring. The tour will conclude at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone where the river plunges 1,000 ft. Hike to Artist’s Point, affording you incredible views of the spectacular lower falls. Hot water acting on volcanic rock created the canyon’s yellow color, making the view from Artist’s Point one to remember. Shuttle back to Bozeman and expect to be there by 3 to 4 pm.

Meals: Breakfast and lunch
Distance: Multiple short hikes

Just wanted to thank Ben and Chris for such a great experience. My first guided trip so wasn’t sure what to expect but wouldn’t change a thing. Everything was planned to perfection. The food was wonderful. And the kindness both boy’s showed was so motivating and encouraging especially in our world today. They both started working before the sun came up and didn’t stop until way beyond everyone going to bed, and it was obvious they love what they do. I also loved how they had a way of making us all feel like one big happy family and made lifetime friends. I hope we can have a reunion trip in the future:)

Incredibly organized trip with amazing food and views. I’ve done my share of camping over the years but I’ve never experienced anything like “Western Spirit” camping. They took all of the hard work and worry out of the trip allowing us to focus on the riding and scenery. Such an amazing experience!
