Biking outside Yellowstone National Park

The surrounding gateway communities of Big Sky, Bozeman, Jackson Hole, Cody, and Red Lodge offer prime locations for both mountain and road biking. Wind your way up one of the area's scenic drives such as Beartooth Pass or Chief Joseph Scenic Byway. Or check out the numerous single track trails, forest roads, or resort trails in the area providing challenging downhill and beginner cross country routes. Find biking rentals, maps, and tours in these gateway towns.

Biking within Yellowstone National Park

Biking within Yellowstone National Park is a fun summer activity for all ages, but make sure you know the rules and that you always use extreme caution when riding on park roads. Roads can become busy with vehicle traffic in the summer months and there are no bicycle paths along the roadways to provide bicyclists with extra room on the road.

Yellowstone Park Rentals:
There is a bike rental shop located within the park at the Snow Lodge Gift Shop in the Old Faithful Area. Call 307-545-4824 for current gift shop hours.

Yellowstone Park Biker / Hiker Campsites:
If you are touring Yellowstone National Park by bike or on foot, you can stay in one of the many developed campgrounds located throughout the park. Campsites are available by reservation and on a first come, first served basis. While campgrounds fill up quickly in the summer months, there is a limited number of campsites within each campground reserved for hikers and bikers. Hiker/biker campsites are not available at Old Faithful. If you are travelling with a group, you can check on reserving group campsites ahead of time by calling Xanterra at (307) 344-7311.
