Route overview
From Bighorn country to the Badlands.
Bighorn to Badlands is being developed as an approximately 1,100 km long-form route connecting dramatically different Alberta landscapes and communities.
Development is still underway. The route is being refined through field riding, access checks and the practical work of connecting sections into something that is both compelling and responsible to publish.
This page is a development preview. It is not yet a complete navigation guide and no public GPX is being offered from this build.
Interactive map coming later
Map withheld while the route is being finalized.
Once the route is ready, this space can hold the actual GPX line, resupply points, camping and route notes.
What ABS will publish with the finished route.
Practical logistics
Resupply, water, camping, communities, bailout options and other trip-planning information.
Access clarity
Known access issues, closures, permissions and sections where riders need to pay particular attention.
Verification history
A visible last-verified date and a process for reporting conditions after publication.
