Dirt biking remains a vibrant and evolving culture as we head into 2025.

Montana is an off-roader’s paradise, offering vast wilderness and a diverse range of terrains that cater to all types of off-roading enthusiasts. With wide open prairies and rugged Rockies, the state provides a perfect playground for mudding, trail running, and general off-roading. Montana's sparse population means plenty of space to explore, and the combination of challenging landscapes—from sticky mud in the plains to rocky trails in the mountains—creates unique off-roading experiences.
For mudding enthusiasts, the prairies offer some of the best mud after snow melts, while regions like Yellowstone’s surroundings and the Flathead National Forest provide thrilling off-road trails. Whether you’re cruising in a street-legal UTV or tackling the wilderness in a surplus military vehicle, Montana offers endless opportunities for off-road adventures. Just remember to outfit your vehicle properly and adhere to the state's legal requirements for street-legal and OHV vehicles, making sure you're prepared for anything Montana's wild terrain might throw at you.
