Overview

Come celebrate our 50th Anniversary & Montana roots with this merry band of riders who want to experience this section of the quintessential Adventure Cycling Great Divide Route under their own power. You’ll tackle over 300 beautiful 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 Whitefish is your starting point, but your ride through the deep woods of northwest Montana with stunning views will take you to Helena, Montana’s capital city, before a return shuttle to Whitefish.
