For mountain bikers and adventure cyclists, the Great Divide represents the ultimate adventure. The world's longest mapped, off-pavement biking route, it's also one of the most challenging bicycle trails around: 2,774 miles along mostly dirt and gravel roads across some of the wildest territory in North America. From the jaw-dropping peaks of British Columbia and Montana, to the wide-open spaces and rocky crags of Wyoming and Colorado, to the Have-I-landed-on-Mars? deserts of New Mexico, the Great Divide offers amazing scenery and unforgettable encounters.

The Adventure Cycling Association's official guidebook, Cycling the Great Divide breaks the trail into 70 individual riding days starting in Banff, Alberta, and ending at Antelope Wells, New Mexico. Discover how to cycle the remote roads and rugged trails, learn where to camp and stock up on supplies, and explore the stunning beauty and history of the Continental Divide.
