Despite the name this is actually a road ride — a beautiful one, as the wide-open grasslands toward the north of Wyoming give way to the rolling foothills that herald the approach of much higher-elevation peaks in nearby Medicine Bow National Forest and Huston Park Wilderness.

Cycling

This section of the TransAmerica Trail runs from Saratoga, Wyoming, through the neighboring communities of Riverside and Encampment, and to the shores of the small, pretty Encampment River.

Technically this is a road ride, but it's common to see people here on touring bikes or even full-on bikepacking. The terrain is rolling enough to be interesting, but not so steep that you have to be a serious road biker with quads of steel to manage it. All in all, this is a great place for a relaxed ride in beautiful scenery.
