Montana occupies the largest state that the tour divide travels through at 725 miles. Matthew Lee, a 5 time finisher of the route, explains why Montana is his favorite state to ride through, the history behind the route and a few notable sections that are worth a shorter bikepacking trip. As the Tour Divide and Great Divide Mountain Bike Route season get under way, we hope this will stoke your fire to get out on your own bikepacking trip soon.
