Rally on the Rift is a 5-day community adventure ride and challenge through the present-day Craters of the Moon National Monument & Preserve, following the 285-mile Great Rift Dirt Tour route.
There are many ways you can participate in the Rally on the Rift. This is a great way to experience the magic and lure of the Great Rift and Kings Bowl without the commitment of a 5-day tour.

We remember the Trail of Tears to acknowledge the humanity of those who suffered and the grave injustice committed against sovereign peoples.

History, unexamined, repeats its patterns of dehumanization and marginalization.
