This route begins in West Yellowstone, the western gateway to Yellowstone National Park. You will pedal close to 80 miles before leaving the park, passing the Norris Geyser Basin and the Upper and Lower Falls of the Yellowstone. Powder River Pass, in Wyoming, is the highest point on the route at 9,675 feet. Gillette, at the end of the section, calls itself the "Energy Capital of the Nation," with Wyoming providing nearly 35% of the United State's coal.
