Idaho BDR Section 2 (IDBDR)

VIDEO: Idaho BDR Section 2: Glenns Ferry to Lowman

Idaho BDR Section 2 (IDBDR) – Full day POV helmet cam video Idaho BDR Section 2 (IDBDR) delivered exactly what makes adventure motorcycle travel so memorable: incredible scenery, unexpected challenges, and a few stories that only seem to happen when you are hundreds of miles from home. The day started in Glenns Ferry and would eventually end in Lowman, but not before a series of events that turned an ordinary ride into one of the most memorable days of the entire Idaho Backcountry Discovery Route. Somewhere along the way I found myself eating mystery meat at a small trail-side restaurant, learning more than I wanted about Idaho insects, taking an unplanned tumble with my motorcycle, and discovering that my campsite reservation was not going to […]

Idaho BDR Memories | Small Towns, Remote Roads and Adventure Riding Through Idaho

The Idaho Backcountry Discovery Route is one of those rides that stays with you long after the dust settles. From the unexpected canyons outside Jarbidge and the remote beauty of Deadwood Reservoir, to mornings in Yellow Pine, and the winding roads along the Salmon River, the Idaho BDR delivers a constantly changing landscape filled with small towns, wildlife, history, and long stretches of true backcountry riding.

What are Backcountry Discovery Routes? BDR Motorcycle Trips and the Paths Less Traveled

If you’ve ever been on a motorcycle trip and found yourself on a less traveled back road, (for me it was highway 789 from Wyoming to Colorado) you may have thought to yourself, “This is outstanding, but what about those dirt roads I can see off in the distance?” This is where the Backcountry Discovery Routes (BDR) come into play. The BDR group has taken guess work of where that dirt road goes, so it makes it possible to plan an off grid trip and have knowledge of what to expect along the way. The BD Routes are done in stages, and have unique challenges based on that states terrain. Not all the sections are easy, and not all the sections are hard, that is […]
