You’re invited on this Idaho bikepacking adventure ride through Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve to celebrate the Great Rift Dirt Tour becoming a Bikepacking Roots Community Route!

Everyone is welcome! However, the remoteness of the region and long stretches without water, make this an advanced route.

Self-supported riding and navigation skills are necessary to complete the full loop.

This ride is intended to introduce folks like you to a region that hasn’t seen many bikepackers. While the route is challenging, bringing folks together can make it more fun and enjoyable knowing others are out there overcoming the same things you are!

Many rides and events often end with a lackluster finish – with no one to congratulate, greet, welcome, and high-five you at the end.

Out in the Great Rift Backcountry, you’re likely to spend a lot of time in solitude. How great would it be to enjoy the company of others and share in the stories of the past 5 days at the finish? This is the goal!

Solitude is expected in this wild place. At times we’ll spread a part and other times some may randomly link up riding the same pace. If you find yourself in the company of others, enjoy it.
