Total distance of the Yellowstone Trail is approximately 3,600 miles.
The lines of the Walt Whitman poem, “Song of the Open Road” (1856) communicate a sense of freedom, opportunity, self determination, and absence of obstacles.
While Whitman’s “road” is, literally, a path in the woods, it is often seen, allegorically, as a personal path through life, or even the attainment of democracy.
So come ride with us!
We will search out the many places where travel is still possible along a less used road.
Where there is still a kind of “sense of place” one feels while driving a two-lane road.
- Motorists seem to be more aware of their surroundings.
- They can slow down or stop to experience a scene.
- They can notice cows up close and personal.

- They can talk with locals.
- There may be a calming familiarity in a two-lane road.
Memories are allowed to happen here, so come ride with us on the Yellowstone Trail!
