Waypoints West MT BDR is a great fit if:
You ride an ADV motorcycle and want long, rewarding backcountry days
You’re comfortable on pavement and confident riding dirt roads and two-track
You want to experience the full scope of the MTBDR without solo logistics
You value route planning, navigation support, and smart decision-making
You enjoy remote riding balanced with classic small-town stops and real beds
This is not the best fit if:
You’re brand new to riding or uncomfortable on dirt
You’re looking for extreme single-track or race-pace days
If you’re not sure, we’ll talk it through. That’s what we do.
Spanning nearly 1,000 miles, the MTBDR crosses more than a dozen mountain ranges, links historic towns, and dives deep into some of the most remote and visually striking terrain in the American West. With Montana completing the western BDR map, this route is expected to become one of the most sought-after adventure motorcycle rides in North America.
The Montana BDR tour is a guided adventure motorcycle ride following the Montana Backcountry Discovery Route. This hotel-based, small-group tour is designed for riders who want to experience Montana’s remote backcountry with smart pacing, navigation support, and optional challenges — without riding alone.
Nearly 1,000 miles of big-sky backcountry, mountain ranges, and remote dirt — a true BDR journey through the heart of Montana.
