Bikepacking the GDMBR | Banff to the Wild

GDMBR Bikepacking | Starting from Banff

This journey started in Banff, riding the legendary Great Divide Mountain Bike Route on my fatbike.
I’m touring, not racing. Just riding through the Canadian Rockies and enjoying the experience.
The route offers incredible mountain views, long gravel climbs, fast descents, rivers, forests, and remote backcountry roads. Along the way I encountered wildlife and experienced how wild and untouched this area really is.
Although I’m riding solo, I met other Divide riders on the route. We shared conversations, some miles together, and camp stories in the evenings.
Some nights I wild camped deep in nature, other nights I stayed at campsites along the route. Simple days: ride, eat, set up camp, repeat.
A lifetime experience on one of the most iconic bikepacking routes in the world.
