LONGEST OFF-PAVEMENT BIKE ROUTE IN THE WORLD
The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route is our premier off-pavement route, crisscrossing the Continental Divide north to south. This route is
defined by the word "remote." Its remoteness equates with spectacular terrain and scenery. The entire route is basically dirt-road and
mountain-pass riding every day. In total, it has over 200,000 feet of elevation gain. All of this climbing gets the rider into
visually spectacular places and incredibly fit shape. More.

NOW EVEN LONGER
The Great Divide Canada section, which connects to and extends our Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, showcases some of the most magnificent
scenery in the entire Rocky Mountain chain. Paradoxically, the route feels somewhat more settled, or civilized, than many sections to the
south in the United States. One reason for this is that Great Divide Canada passes through a string of national and provincial parks, which, not surprisingly, attract a great number of visitors. While the majority of the route follows dirt and gravel roads, keen mountain bikers
will be happy to learn that there's also plenty of singletrack trails to ride in close proximity to the route, particularly around Fernie,
Banff, and Canmore. More on the Route into Canada.
