The long awaited Wyoming BDR (WYBDR) is our eleventh route developed for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel.
The Wyoming Backcountry Discovery Route is a multi-day off-pavement ride for dual-sport and adventure motorcycles through the most dramatic and rugged landscapes in Wyoming. Beginning in Baggs, WY, the route traces the mountain ranges to the east through the Sierra Madre and Medicine Bow Ranges, crosses west to the Wind River Range, then goes back east and north through the Bighorn Mountains, eventually ending at a remote Wyoming-Montana border. Almost every section includes some moderately technical riding, as the remote two-track flows through regions of vast high-desert, short-grass prairies, and alpine climates. You will experience expansive views from the summit of two different 11,000-foot mountains, cross two major rim escarpments and pass through many other seldom visited areas and historic mining towns. This is the most remote BDR, so plan ahead and be prepared to have a true backcountry adventure.

Our four on-site vacation rentals, The Reef Cottages, feature big windows and big views overlooking Grey Reef. Each of our cottages have a single bedroom that houses two plush queen beds with an extra long twin bunk over one of the queen beds. A fourth guest sleeps on the futon in the living space. A tiled shower, full kitchen, a large patio with a grill and outside dining furniture as well as a flat screen TV culminate in a great vacation rental at the best possible location. Cottage guests are not required to fish at all, but we’d highly recommend it! If you prefer to grill your own steak and arrange your own logistics it doesn’t get any better than the cottages.

The Hyde Out is a small guest cabin located just off of Main Street in Atlantic City, Wyoming.
The “Base Camp Cabin on Main” offers a great location to access the western slope of the Bighorn Mountains. At the junction of all three BLM and Forest Service access roads (Alkali Road, Cold Springs Road & the Hyattville Logging Road) leading into the Bighorn Mountains the cabin offers a superb central point to begin or end miles and miles of “two-track” mountain roads. Approximately 17 miles north of Tensleep Wyoming on a gravel road you will find our cabin. Situated on main street, it is a short walk to the local watering hole to quinch a dusty thirst after a day on the trail. Please take a look at our listing, Base Camp Cabin on Main, Hyattville, WY on Airbnb or VRBO. We look forward to seeing you in Hyattville, the quiet gem of the Big Horn Basin.
