Who’s game for a BIG adventure in western Wyoming this September? Bikepackers, backpackers, horsepackers – you’re all invited. If you’re a maybe or a yes, please read all this and then fill out this form to be kept in the loop.

We’ll gather in Kemmerer and then strike north through the Wyoming Range all the way to the Tetons, hopefully with some group camping along the way, a resupply drop at McDougal Gap, and shuttle support to make logistics as simple as possible. And no, this isn’t a race of any sort, and it’ll be free.

I’ve spent a lot of time on these trails over the past 5 years. There’s momentum on a major trails project out here, and to help that momentum grow, I want more folks to see some of the trails nestled in these mountains. These trails are very, very demanding – I can’t stress that enough. They fade in and out in places, completely vanish at times, rarely utilize switchbacks, and if you’re a mountain biker, you’ll be pushing your bike frequently. But for lovers of backcountry trails through beautiful places that rarely see tires, boots or hooves, this area is magical. You can read more here about the Wyoming Range Trail, the magnificent and unrelentingly challenging middle 75 miles of this route. 

The route links together 2-track out of Kemmerer, the rugged and faint Wyoming Range Trail to Hoback Junction, and then more well-traveled trail through the Snake River Range. Hikers can continue north on the famous Teton Crest Trail, mountain bikers will wrap up in Victor, ID, and horse riders likely will hit the end of their ride a little farther south to avoid a short section on highway.

Let me know if you’re interested via this form. Timing will likely be gathering on September 18th, and I’ll set some firmer dates after surveying what would work best for potential participants, but envision ~6 days on bike and maybe twice that on foot.
