Visit us at www.backcountrybyways.com; and on Instagram at .byways. Backcountry Byways LLC specializes in developing plug-and-play wildland-travel routes for adventure motorists who yearn to experience the American West's most remote, beautiful and historic backcountry roads. Our clients include overlanding enthusiasts, adventure-motorcyclists and long-distance mountain bikers. Many pu
rsue a mix of outdoor experiences. They turn to Backcountry Byways LLC for easy, convenient and reliable solutions after realizing how much time, knowledge and resources are required for a successful extended trip -- whether for a week, two weeks or even longer. Our solution: comprehensive, detailed, field-checked GPS-guided routing that not only includes suitable unpaved wildland roads, but also ...
-- primitive and developed campsites;
-- rural fuel sources;
-- potential trouble spots;
-- historic sites;
-- prompt, personal responses to your questions and concerns;
-- access to our advice and counsel, from inception to completion; and
-- real-time rerouting as you travel, if conditions become impassable. Our promise: We will do the work, taking the frustration out of planning a complex wildland journey amid unfamiliar terrain. You get to live the dream. We offer two services:
1. affordable plug-and-play, ready-to-go GPS-guided routing; and
2. personalized custom-routing tailored to each client's interests, time restrictions and skill level. Both can include camping and lodgings. To each custom commission, and to our ready-to-go routes, we apply decades of professional experience chronicling the American West's wildland roads for guidebooks (visit: www.backcountrybyways.com), magazines and Web publications, and individual and corporate clients nationwide. For both options, the navigation-and-execution tools you will need will be delivered conveniently and promptly, ready to go when you are. Our personalized custom-routing services -- the more resource-intensive and expensive option -- will introduce you to our affordable GPS-guided "Heart of the West Adventure Route" -- a ready-to-roll wildland roundabout of backcountry routes -- or our "Sierra to the Sea Adventure Route," a trans-California route between the highest mountain range in the Lower 48 to the Pacific Ocean. Whether you and your group are looking for a custom route -- tailored to your circumstances -- or the simplicity of our plug-and-play adventure routes, we have the solution.

Today's good news: On this date (December 28) in 2016, President Barack Obama designated Gold Butte National Monument, in southern Nevada (photo). .
Its 297,000 desert acres lay on the doorstep of far-right outlaw, fugitive and taxpayer-subsidized cattleman Ammon Bundy, who has long abused America's publicly owned wildlands. .
Today's bad news: On this same date in 2023 we were reminded of the continuing battle to preserve what remains of America's relatively healthy natural environment, which we've enjoyed for decades as mechanized and non-mechanized wildland travelers. .
The reminder came as a self-serving letter to constituents from Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson (R), a career politician and beneficiary of related largess. In it, Simpson brags that "my FY24 Interior and Environment Appropriations Bill PASSED (his emphasis) the House." .
The bill, he states, "slashes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Budget by 39%." At the same time, Simpson continues, he worked to prohibit the listing as threatened or endangered the West's rapidly declining Greater Sage Grouse, which struggle to survive as wildfires, drought, subsidized ranchers and miners degrade the West's beleaguered sagebrush ecosystems. .
He also worked, he says, to continue the royalty-free, environmentally catastrophic and heavily mechanized extraction of publicly owned minerals by even foreign mining companies. .
As longtime advocates for healthy, accessible and sustainably managed public lands, we take hope from the good news ... and motivation from the bad. .

Colorado's has just released its map to the initiative's new Wyoming BDR. This extends even further the reach of our six-state, GPS-guided , an easily accessed web of interconnected loops that includes convenient connectors to most Western BDRs. In the case of the Wyoming BDR, the connection is seamless. .
At heart of these detailed maps: the outstanding cartography and graphic designs of Maps. .
The adventures of wildland travel by motorcycle, SUV and even mountain bike are waiting -- and better than ever for 2022. Start planning your journey of a lifetime today! .
