Across The Great Divide

A Reporter, A Bicycle & 900 Miles Listening To Small Town America

Nate Hegyi, rural reporter for the Mountain West News Bureau, is embarking on a 900-mile cycling trip crisscrossing the continental divide in August and September, interviewing and listening to Americans ahead of the 2020 election. You can follow Nate in his updates below, or on social media, an online blog and this “Where Is He Now?” map.
  • At the end of the first day, Nate journaled with a night cap at Bitterroot Brewery in Hamilton, Montana.
