A stop for lunch in the small, pioneering town of Ovando will give you a chance to feel the extensive Montana history of this area. For thousands of years Native American tribes have made this area home, and later explorations by Merriweather Lewis and mining discoveries created this town.

When this day is over we will all look at one another with a big grin and wonder out loud if today was all just an amazing dream.

Day 11 Cody - Cody - 0 km

Today is your day to simply kick up your boots and relax in Cody. Incorporated in 1901, Cody, Wyoming is located 52 miles from Yellowstone National Park's east entrance. Cody was founded by Colonel William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody who passed through the region in the 1870s. He was so impressed by the development possibilities of irrigation, rich soil, grand scenery, hunting, and proximity to Yellowstone National Park, one of the most amazing landscapes and wildlife habitats on the planet, that he returned in the mid-1890s to start a town. Cody has many activities to offer - from white water rafting to experiencing the amazing Buffalo Bill or Cody Firearms museums.

Day 12 Cody - West Yellowstone - 284 km

We are running out of adjectives to describe this incredible region of the world and today is no different. Today will be spent winding our way through parts of Yellowstone National Park, stopping to experience the majesty of Yellowstone Falls and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Mammoth Hot Springs, Hayden Valley and all of its extraordinary wildlife. Tonight we will stay on the edge of the park in West Yellowstone so we’ll be primed for more Park exploration in the morning!

Our evening will be spent exploring the bars and restaurants of Historic 25th Street. With nicknames like Notorious Two Bit Street and Electric Alley, this street was once home to brothels, political scandals, and the “dark ages” of gang rivalries so intense you couldn’t walk the three-block length in safety. Today, 25th Street is a mecca for travelers, art collectors, foodies, and adventurers.

Day 15 Ogden - Salt Lake City - 160 km

On our last day of riding we will continue our exploration of the Wasatch mountains with its lakes, foothills, rocky peaks and famous ski areas such as Park City.
