The Intermountain Connectors link the Western Wildlands Route (WWR) and the Great Divide MTB Route (GDMBR).
Since the Adventure Cycling Association (ACA) released the GDMBR in 1998 it has inspired thousands of bikepackers and the creation of the WWR itself. As soon as Bikepacking Roots (BPR) released the WWR in 2017 riders asked for links between the routes for loop trips. We created these connectors in collaboration with the ACA, and we're excited to share them with the bikepacking world.
The Connectors are non-technical riding that is mostly off-pavement, created with wide-tired mountain bikes rather than skinnier-tired gravel bikes in mind. The northern Connectors are relatively short links, while the southern Connectors are notably longer and can offer grand adventures in and of themselves. Several of these also allow for easy access to major public transit hubs in Salt Lake City, Denver, and Tucson.
