![]() ![]() This is part of what makes it an adventure. Even taking this approach there may be difficult stretches depending on changes in road conditions, weather, construction and the unknown. We suggest looking at the Butler Map and take the optional easier routes to avoid the difficult sections. A BDR is something a person should build up to and it shouldn’t be their first overnight trip on their ADV bike.Īlthough, WA and CO are less difficult than UT and AZ, they all contain difficult sections. If a person’s skills are not advanced level, they may consider taking a smaller bike or choosing the easier options when possible. If a person is on a large bike twin-cylinder bike like an R1200GS Adventure or Yamaha Super Tenere, the routes can be very difficult. Here are some key things to consider as you put together your plan.Īll of the BDR routes include intermediate to advanced terrain. Flash floods are frequent during summer storms. Depending on time of year and weather, there may be a few small shallow water crossings, but none worth worrying about. There are alternate “easier” routes around a few of the most challenging sections. You may also encounter sections that have trees or branches over the road. When you see signs that read, “Roads maybe impassable when wet”, use caution, roads become very slick and can be impassable. Road conditions change from week to week based on the recent weather. There are also sections that have deep sand for extended periods of time. You can expect to cover sections of road with deep ruts, loose rocks, sand and other challenges. Many of the roads are in remote areas and reach high elevation areas where road maintenance is minimal or non-existent. There are no single-track style trails on this route. The UTBDR route is designed to be ridden on adventure and dual-sport motorcycles, as well as driven in 4×4 vehicles. ![]()
