Pavement Option: A Washington Back Country Discover Route Adventure

One of the perks of life in the Pacific North West is having access to large amounts of public land.

Those of us who live here are incredibly fortunate to live in a place where the outdoors and public lands are respected by so many. One of the gems here in Washington state is the "WA Backcountry Discovery Route" (WABDR). The WABDR is a 575 mile route that cuts through the Cascades from the Columbia River to the Canadian Border. Every summer, folks in 4x4s and on adventure motorcycles explore the roads less traveled. Back Country Discover Routes (BDR®) All this is made possible by a non-profit, volunteer-powered organization that creates off-highway routes for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel. In addition, they promote rider education, safety campaigns and responsible travel for motorcyclists traveling in the backcountry. Look them up and support them (https://ridebdr.com)
