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.

  • Ride iconic sections of the Wyoming Backcountry Discovery Route

  • Big-sky riding through wide-open basins, mountain ranges, and high desert

  • Long, flowing dirt roads and two-track built for steady, enjoyable miles

  • Remote backcountry scenery without the pressure to ride alone

  • Optional challenges and spur routes when conditions and group interest allow

  • Hotel-based lodging each night for real recovery after big days

  • Small groups that create better pacing, better decisions, and better camaraderie

  • Routes adjusted daily for weather, conditions, and group comfort

A day of “distance meets discovery.” Long miles, plenty of flow, and the kind of solitude that makes the ride feel bigger than the map.

This day delivers variety—fast sections, changing landscapes, and optional add-ons if you’re feeling spicy. We keep it fun and rideable.
