8. Burgess Junction to Montana Border
BURGESS JUNCTION TO MONTANA BORDER – 43.2 miles
Get fuel at Bear Lodge and begin the last section which uses wide dirt roads north of Highway 14A. The first 15 miles follows Freeze Out Road (NF-15) as it meanders in and out of trees in Bighorn National Forest. Then you turn onto road 143 and begin five miles of doubletrack bliss that descends back to the highway.
After a few miles of pavement the track turns due north on an out-and-back adventure to a remote fence at the Wyoming-Montana border marking the end of the WYBDR. This high elevation 17-mile long road passes by Sheep and Duncum Mountains (both approx 9800 ft) and has grand views most of the way. Celebrate your accomplishment then ride back to Highway 14A the same way you rode in.
