Cycle the Divide - Montana

We’ll travel from the lively resort town of Whitefish, located near Glacier National Park, to the southern end of the spectacular Swan Range, one of Montana’s less-visited geologic gems. Not far away lies Flathead Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake in the West.

Riding mostly on U.S. Forest Service roads and a bit of singletrack, we’ll experience the high country of one of the world’s great wildland complexes. Along the way, we’ll encounter a variety of flora and fauna — the sharp-eyed might even spot wild huckleberries ripe for the picking or the occasional bear on a distant hillside. We’ll skirt the southern boundaries of the Bob Marshall and Scapegoat wilderness areas and crest the Continental Divide on a loop near Lincoln, our ultimate destination.
