The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route has been a joy for thrillseekers for more than 20 years, and you can join the party in style along the iconic route’s sky-scraping Colorado alpine section. Most of the riding is above 9,000 feet, and some of the Rocky Mountains’ highest peaks will be your companions on this bucket-list–worthy tour!

Between Steamboat Springs and Kremmling, we’ll meander through a mellow mountain landscape before descending, seemingly forever, to the Colorado River at Radium. It’s one of the most dramatic dives on the entire Great Divide Route. We’ll also ride through the bustling resort area of Breckenridge before ascending Boreas Pass. The last day’s ride into Salida follows a twisty doubletrack that offers incredible views across the Arkansas River valley to some of the most spectacular 14ers in Colorado.

While the scenic views are incredible, you’ll earn them! This is a challenging tour.
