For more than two decades, the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route has fulfilled the dreams of cyclists looking for the ultimate off-road adventure!

We’ll tackle nearly 350 of the most beautiful and challenging miles along the entire 3,000-mile route, which traces the spine of the Rocky Mountains from Jasper, Alberta, to Antelope Wells, New Mexico. Beautiful Banff is our starting point, but our ride through the spectacular Canadian Rockies and deep woods of northwest Montana will come to an end near Glacier National Park at the Whitefish Bike Retreat, a 20-acre cyclist’s paradise and a fitting end to a dream tour. Come see why Outside magazine included the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route on its list of “The Best Backcountry Adventure Trips in America.”
