This seven-day, six-night tour allows cyclists the unique opportunity to witness the majestic beauty of two of the most iconic U.S. national parks in one trip, while, of course, offering stunning views all along the way. Riders will cover about 50 to 95 miles per day, beginning in West Glacier and ending in West Yellowstone. Tacking an extra day or two to the beginning or the end of your trip is recommended, as you'll likely want some extra time for exploration within one or both of these expansive parks.
