Continental Divide Ride – Jul. 23-Aug. 1, 2020
Ride a rugged mountain range that snakes its way from Canada to Mexico.
Picture a route two and a half thousand miles long, stretching from Canada to Mexico, traversing New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana, with elevations from 4,000 feet to a cloud-scraping 13,000 feet. The path criss-crosses a single geologic feature that rules over most of the North American continent, influencing weather, determining which oceans receive the outflows of thousands of watercourses, creating and dividing habitats—and offering spectacular views to those who challenge its heights. This is the legendary Continental Divide, also known as the Great Divide!
Remote and inspiring, riding the Great Divide is truly a bucket list trip. From the flat and arid vastness of the deserts with its wide graded roads, to the rugged passes of the Rocky Mountains and the magnificence of the Grand Prairie and the single tracks of Montana. Honestly–where else in the world can you find such rapid changes in geography in such short distances? As you ride you’ll see very few signs of civilization. You almost feel that your are riding somewhere other than the United States.
A trip of this magnitude should not be undertaken without careful preparation. RawHyde Adventures have been leading groups up and down the Continental Divide for more than a decade now and their route has been carefully refined over the years. For ten days you’ll experience the most stunning landscapes the US has to offer, enjoying nights out under crisp starry skies or in fine lodges. You’ll be challenged by the terrain and amazed by the scenery. The route is only passable in summer, and even then storms can render many passages difficult but it’s an amazing trip, one you’ll talk about for years to come.
The Continental Divide Ride offers world-class adventure riding right in the heart of the US. It has the perfect mix of remote, challenging terrain and iconic American landscapes to make this a truly epic journey. It’s really hard to adequately describe this journey! Incredible, Awesome, Stupendous and words like that just don’t seem to do it justice. Perhaps it’s time you see it for yourself?
