Wyoming BDR – Self-Guided Adventure Motorcycle Ride

Nope! And that's part of what makes riding with Waypoints West different.

We use iconic sections of the Wyoming BDR as a foundation, then add our own carefully selected roads, scenic detours, and backcountry connections.

We're proud supporters of Backcountry Discovery Routes and the incredible work they do for the adventure riding community. We aren't replacing their route. We're putting our own Waypoints West spin on an already incredible adventure.

This adventure is rated Intermediate and is best suited for riders with solid off-road experience. Expect gravel, ruts, rocky sections, remote two-track, and changing terrain. You'll need to be comfortable riding independently and making decisions in remote country.

You bet! Seven nights of hotel and lodge accommodations are included in your self-guided package. We'll select and book your lodging so you can focus on riding instead of searching for a place to sleep.

Absolutely! Choose your preferred dates, subject to seasonal conditions and lodging availability, and explore Wyoming with your own crew.

You can ride at your own pace, and some sections offer optional challenges or alternate routes. We'll review your options during the planning call. You and your crew are responsible for making safe decisions if you choose to deviate from the planned route.

You should be comfortable using GPS navigation, but you don't have to build the routes yourself. We'll provide your GPX files and walk you through navigation during your planning call. You can also rent one of our Garmins, preloaded and ready to roll.

Yes, when available. If you'd like additional support for your adventure, ask about adding a support truck to your package. Availability and pricing depend on your dates and ride logistics.

You bet. Ask about our adventure motorcycle rental options. We can also coordinate delivery logistics when delivery is available and our schedule allows.

Pretty remote! That's a big part of the appeal. You'll ride through sparsely populated areas where fuel, services, and cell coverage can be limited. We'll help you prepare for these conditions during your planning call, but you'll need to carry appropriate supplies and have a plan for emergencies.

Wyoming weather can change quickly, and rain can make some dirt roads difficult or impassable. We'll discuss potential challenges and available alternatives before departure, but you'll be responsible for monitoring conditions and making safe decisions during your ride.

The final core riding day ends near Burgess Junction, with a return to Casper afterward. We'll clarify the return logistics and any additional lodging or transportation needed when planning your adventure.

No. This is a self-guided adventure, meaning you and your crew are responsible for navigating and riding the route. We handle the planning so you can enjoy the freedom of exploring independently.

A capable, street-legal adventure or dual-sport motorcycle with appropriate off-road tires is recommended. You'll want a bike you're comfortable handling on gravel, ruts, rocky sections, and remote two-track. Not bringing your own? Ask us about rental options.
