WYCO – Self-Guided Wyoming Adventure Motorcycle Ride
Your Ride. Your Crew. Our Expertise.
Wide-open Wyoming dirt. Remote forest roads. Alpine mountain views. And the kind of backcountry that makes you forget what day it is.
Our Self-Guided WYCO adventure delivers three days of incredible riding from Northern Colorado into Wyoming's wide-open backcountry, without spending weeks figuring out where to go.
We build your routes, book your hotels, and walk you through the details before you roll out. You bring your crew, set your own pace, and enjoy 500+ miles of scenic dirt roads, mountain passes, and wide-open adventure.
Big country. Manageable dirt. Serious adventure.
All the adventure. None of the planning headaches.

Here's how Waypoints West approaches your self-guided WYCO adventure:
Routes built by riders who know the backcountry. We've connected flowing gravel, forest roads, mountain passes, and incredible Wyoming scenery into three unforgettable days.
Hotels? Handled. Three nights of accommodations are included in your package. No tents, sleeping bags, or late-night hotel searches required.
Your schedule, your pace. Stop for the views, enjoy another cup of coffee, or spend a little longer exploring. It's your adventure.
Big scenery without big technical demands. Mostly rideable dirt roads, with optional challenges for riders who want to turn things up.
Real people. Real advice. A private pre-ride call to walk through your routes, terrain, navigation, and logistics before departure.
No weeks spent piecing together GPS tracks. No wondering where the good dirt starts. No scrambling for accommodations after a long day.

wyoco skill level & terrain expectations
WYCO is rated Beginner on our terrain rating system, with approximately 80% dirt riding.
Expect long stretches of flowing gravel, scenic forest roads, rolling backcountry terrain, and occasional uneven surfaces. The focus is on rideability, confidence, and incredible scenery rather than technical obstacles.
This is a great adventure for newer dirt riders looking to build experience beyond the pavement. You'll still want basic gravel-riding skills, confidence handling your motorcycle on loose surfaces, and the ability to navigate independently.
Optional challenge passes are available for riders who want a little more difficulty. Those sections are never required.
Because you're riding independently, you and your crew are responsible for evaluating road conditions, navigating safely, and making decisions when weather or terrain changes.
Not sure if you're ready? Take our rider self-assessment or give us a call. We'd rather help you choose the right adventure than send you into something you're not prepared for.
