The races are called "Wild and Scenic" for a reason. The remote location of the Bighorn Mountains has provided the perfect environment for a grueling mountain run. This "Wild and Scenic" run is easily reached by Interstate 90, if you choose to drive. However, if a road trip is not in your future, you may decide to travel by air.

While CREWING or PACING it will serve you best to have a vehicle. As with most 100 mile trail runs there is a lot of mileage covered while attending to your runner. Most of the travel you will be doing will be on paved highway and improved gravel road, but after looking at the course information and maps, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended if you plan on going to Sally's Footbridge Aid Station. The road to Sally's Footbridge is not improved and includes creek crossings.
