I rode a bunch of the Montana section last year on my Disc Trucker with 26x2 Schwalbe Mondial tires. Some of it was pretty arduous, with rocks the size of baby heads nested in a bed of loose sandy stuff (mostly accumulated at the bottoms of big hills). It was doable for me, but I think a 2.3" tire would have floated better over the loose stuff.
