WYoming BDR –
Guided WY BDR Adventure Motorcycle Tour
Wide-open spaces. Endless horizons. Remote riding at its finest — without the stress of doing it alone.
The Wyoming Backcountry Discovery Route is where riders go to experience the raw, untamed American West: high alpine mountains, desert basins, sagebrush prairies, and miles of dirt that make you forget what day it is (in the best way).

Built for Riders Like You
Waypoints West WY BDR is a great fit if:
You ride an ADV motorcycle and want real backcountry miles without riding solo
You’re comfortable on pavement and confident riding dirt roads and two-track
You want to experience the Wyoming BDR with smart pacing and flexibility
You value route planning, navigation support, and good decision-making
You like the idea of big, remote days that end with a hot shower and a real bed
This is not the best fit if:
You’re a brand-new rider
You’re looking for extreme single-track or trials-style days
If you’re not sure, we’ll talk it through. That’s what we do.
This is the WYBDR done the Waypoints West way: hotel-based, small-group, thoughtfully paced, and fully supported—so you can focus on riding, not logistics.
Expect long stretches of two-track, sweeping mountain views, and the kind of remote riding that puts you in the middle of the “Big Empty.” Intermediate riders will enjoy the open terrain and flow, while advanced riders can tackle optional challenges like rocky climbs and remote spur roads.
Wide-open Wyoming backcountry, endless dirt miles, and big-sky solitude — experienced with smart pacing, support, and zero pressure to push beyond your comfort zone.
