Bikepacking

Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, Colorado

19 - 31 July, 2027

​

Bikepacking is self-supported mountain bike camping over dirt roads and trails – our gear is carried on the bike or in a trailer behind the bike. This is a great introduction to bikepacking, on the Colorado stretches of the world-famous Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, which goes from the US/Canada border to Mexico. We plan to cover the 340 miles or so from Kremmling to Del Norte in Colorado. Planning to cover only 30-40 miles per day over nine riding days, with two planned rest days, we will cross high mountain passes and travel through Breckenridge, South Park, Salida, and the San Luis Valley on a mix of gravel roads, trails, and pavement. A support vehicle will remain in the general vicinity for emergencies. A great first bike-packing experience! $900 requested contribution ($300 for Bighorn Basin residents). Caravan from Worland; bicycle, camping gear, and other equipment can be supplied.  

Full and partial scholarships available for any En Gedi Project activity.
