This will be a pleasant journey of communing with nature as entrants spend most of the day riding through the beautiful Yellowstone National Park, which will include a lunch break at the Old Faithful geyser.

Of the over 500 geysers in Yellowstone National Park, Old Faithful is the most predictable. Named in 1870 for to its reliable eruptions, the geyser blows about every 91 minutes. Though there are recorded intervals from 45 minutes to 125 minutes (averaging about every 66 minutes back in the 1930s), it has become more reliable and currently averages a 1.5 to 5 minute blast every 90 minutes. Old Faithful spews boiling water as high as 185-feet into the air 65 minutes after an eruption lasting less that 2.5 minutes or 91 minutes after a blast lasting more that 2.5 minutes.

The concentration of wildlife in Yellowstone is unlike anywhere else in America. Riders can expect to see any number of animals including bear, elk, antelope, red fox, coyote, bald eagles, bison, wolves, big horn sheep, badgers, ground squirrels and chipmunks. There are also moose in the southern edges of the park, in the Grand Tetons. We will travel through the Grand Teton National Park on our way to our overnight city of Jackson, Wyoming, bringing us to day’s total of 160-miles.
