A closer lookInside the planner

Break it down to stages.

The stage splitter: a By days / By distance toggle and a slider set to 3 days, ≈113 km per day across a 339.5 km route.

Split any route into stages

Break down the route to multiple manageable stages. Then plan each stage from resupply to accommodation.

Mec, the route partner: a typed request to plan a 3-day gravel loop out of Bend, with quick-start suggestions below.

Ask Mec, your route partner

Describe the trip in plain language and Mec drafts it — then nudge it: shorten a day, cap the gradient, find a bed near the end of a stage.

Under the hoodEverything on one map

Surface-aware routing. A real route partner. Days that plan themselves.

01 · SURFACE-AWARE ROUTING

Routes that match the surface you want to ride.

Built on OpenStreetMap and heatmaps. Choose gravel-first or bike roads and the planner weighs gradient, surface and traffic — then shows the elevation you'll actually climb before you commit.

Sleep & bookingBeds, handled

Find — and book — somewhere to sleep without leaving the map.

The hardest part of a multi-day route isn't the riding — it's knowing there's a bed at the end of each day. Ask for sleep spots near a stage end and the planner drops every option onto the map, then lets you book the night right there.

bikepackia.com / planner — sleep spots
The sleep-spots explorer: lodging pins clustered around a stage end on the map, with a detail panel for Belknap Hot Springs Lodge — 4.6 rating, $148 a night, amenities, and Set as stage end / Book now buttons — above a scrollable list of other stays.
01

A bed near every stage end

Finish a day and the planner already knows where you could sleep — lodges, hostels, inns, cabins, campgrounds and free wild camps, ranked by how far they sit from your stage end.

02

Real details before you commit

Photos, rating and review count, nightly price, amenities and ride distance from the route — enough to choose without leaving the map and losing your place.

03

Book the night, lock the day

Hit Book now to reserve a bookable stay, or set a free dispersed camp as the stage end. Either way the night locks into your itinerary and the route re-snaps to finish there.
