Overview

Discover and explore what we ultimately strive for in a cycling vacation–which is to simply “Pedal Happy”. Ride through lands where coal mines, gold rushes and gun battles defined the landscape and legendary turf wars were won and lost. From Cody, Wyoming, bicycle east into Bighorn National Forest, then north and west through Shoshone and Custer National Forests before returning back to Cody. Bike the first protected national forest in the United States. Explore the lands of the Shoshone, the Arapaho, the Sioux, Chief Joseph's Nez Perce - and the early settlers pushing west.
