Stay Do Go Plan About

Whether you are drawn by the lure of the open highway, or prefer the technical challenge of climbing a cobbled trail, you’ll find a wide variety of biking options in Wind River Country.

For road bikers, there are a number of loops that can be made through Wind River Country ranging in length from the leisurely 13-mile Squaw-Baldwin Creek loop popular with the lunchtime crowd in Lander, to a 100-mile circuit that links Lander, Riverton, and Sweetwater Station.

Highway 287 from Togwotee Pass through Dubois and Lander and then on to Rawlins by way of Jeffrey City and the Sweetwater Rocks area is part of the TransAmerica Bike Tour Route, a 4,247 mile transcontinental bike route established for the Adventure Cycling Association’s celebration of the

U.S.

bicentennial. The route, which continues to be the most popular way to cross

America

by bicycle today, includes ocean coastline, lush forests, high deserts, mountain passes, snow-capped peaks, sweeping vistas, expansive plains, fertile farmland, rolling hills, and wide rivers. Transcontinental riders are frequently seen traversing Wind River Country along this route every summer.

For bikers who prefer dirt to pavement, many of the trails that traverse Wind River Country’s millions of acres of public land are multiple use and open for mountain biking. Check in at the local bike shops in town for ideas on rides. You’ll find there’s something suitable for all ability levels from easy two-track tours in the desert, to technical challenges on rocky terrain in the mountains.
