How states are organized

Within each state, businesses that ride close to one another are grouped into riding areas, named after nearby towns. Businesses on their own appear on the state page. Greater Yellowstone and Grand Teton have their own destination guide, which covers parts of Montana, Wyoming and Idaho.
