THESE ROADS WERE MADE TO RUMBLE

It’s relaxing, even liberating, to hit the limits on the open road, but not just any stretch of pavement will do the job. From small towns to picturesque landscapes to horizons that seemingly never end, these wide-open roads were made for bikes.

Epic trips start on lesser known byways, and this motorcycle loop takes you through some of the Western prairie’s most distinctive scenery. The route runs through Eastern Montana and the far-western sections of the Dakotas. It takes about nine hours round trip, and there’s no rush to finish.

Experience hospitality at its best along the way and make a new friend or two in each town you visit. Plan to make stops along the way, including county museums to experience the rich history in this region, or drive the scenic roads inside our state parks. Local eats and drinks will enrich your experience. Stop in for a drink at Stoneville Saloon in Alzada, a quirky biker bar built on Western authenticity, or the historic Montana Bar in Miles City.

If you seek the less-crowded road, then this route is yours to explore. SoutheastMontana.com/Mondak
