From the first mile, segment 7 of the Western Wildlands Bikepacking Route (WWR) will test your mettle. No other segment reaches the same heights (11,000 ft above sea level) or spends as much time at high altitudes. We were now spending days threading our way along high plateaus, with stunning vistas that stretched far into the distance. There are alpine meadows studded with aspens, and rocky cliffs with many ridge tops to cycle.

We analyzed the average temperatures, chance of rain, wind direction and speed all along the Western Wildlands Bikepacking Route, based on a late June departure from Whitefish, MT. Check out our charts to see what the weather might have in store for us as we cycle from Canada to Mexico on the Western Wildlands route.
