Wyoming Backcountry Discovery Route Documentary Film (WYBDR)

About The Route and Film:

Riders will test their skills and endurance on this epic 950-mile backcountry tour of Wyoming spanning from the northern border of Colorado to the southern border of Montana. The tracks wind through five mountain ranges and explore vast high-desert regions on public dirt roads and primitive double-track. Expect scenic views, endless forest roads under a canopy of trees, high-desert terrain, flowing curves, rocky expert-only sections, and alpine elevations reaching 11,000 feet.

Riders will traverse two major rim escarpments and pass through many seldom visited areas and historic mining towns. This route regularly throws unexpected challenges at riders, and almost every section includes some technical riding. WYBDR is the most remote of all the BDRs, so preparedness is key to a successful WYBDR adventure.

About Backcountry Discovery Routes:
Backcountry Discovery Routes® (BDR®) is a non-profit organization that creates off-highway routes for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel. We have introduced a new route with free GPS tracks for the community every year since 2010.

Our work includes rider education, safety campaigns and promoting responsible travel for motorcyclists traveling in the backcountry.

Our volunteer-powered organization works with agencies and land managers to keep trails and remote roads open for motorcycling.

Each route generates new tourism that delivers sustainable economic relief to less-advantaged rural communities. This creates local stakeholders who will help fight to keep access for dual-sport and adventure motorcycles in these incredible backcountry areas.

Good advertisement for riding a smaller/lighter Adventure bike on the BDRs...

The secret to riding in Wyoming? Fuel up at lunch…shut’er down when you are tired or the view is spectacular.

As a navite of Wyoming I've long been aware of what the state has to offer. When I think of Wyoming the term "miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles" usually pops into my head as it was one of my father's favorite ways to describe the great state.

These BDRs are such an amazing thing to introduce to the world right now. We've become so disconnected with the world and each other. These routes offer a re-connection of both. Re-connecting people in the groups that ride together, and also with the small towns an communities along the way. Then riders get to experience the incredible beauty of the world around them while being able to stay respectful of it. Thank you so much for what you are doing.

My husband is there for work right now (May 2022) where he's at it snowed a couple days ago and he tells me it's so, so windy!!! And weather changes every few hours! But he says the scenery is nice (in some parts) so far he's enjoying his stay, also tells me that everyone has been very nice and friendly to him.

Has this been here for two years?!? I totally missed this.. But it's absolutely brilliant!

You guys rock!! Thanks for posting this on YT for FREE!!!

What a compelling piece of film making Sterling thank you. I'm so jealous of the wonderful opportunities for exploration open to you guys over the pond. Here in the UK the vast majority of our beautiful country is owned by wealthy people who have inherited Square mile upon square mile of land from privileged family lines and who are in no way inclined to share it with certainly not motorcyclists. "Get off my land!" is what we get at every turn You are so fortunate to live in the greatest country in the world 👍

I just love Sterling‘s voice so much, I could listen to him all day long.

[Kyrodan]

Great film...love watching the scenery...would of liked to see some camping...so I need to ask..why bring all that gear if you not going to use it???

[Matt-vlxk]

living in the Southeast I’ve never been jealous of a BDR, but this film has done it. I want to ride it now. Thank you for taking us along on this adventure and for making it available to watch on YouTube!

What a fabulous pioneering job for mountain biking (and even distance walkers). You will get the safety advantage of regular motorcycle teams passing thru very remote country should you get into extreme crisis, like injury while being un-motorized. This has great potential to aid both sports. It will be awhile before it gets so crowded as to be “done”.

So interesting tidbit, the wilderness areas of the Wind River mountains, just north of where the BDR route passes, is the most remote area in the US outside of Alaska. Also a place which is stunningly beautiful alpine terrain, but few people ever see it because it takes several days backpacking just to get in there.

Oh its always a pleasure seeing Jocelyn Snow. What an awesome person and rider. I've enjoyed learning from her skills advice ! And a sense of humor too boot!!

As a hobbyist videographer and serious photographer, biker and creator, and ruthless critic, this production was hands down the best I have seen. the videography was superb, the quality of the shooting, the storyline, the vivid colors was astonishing. The audio crystal clear. The drone shots, gorgeous. The interviews made it come alive. This raised the bar for me. Kinda like an IMAX movie or BBC documentary. THAT GOOD.

Bravo.

[oldmanriding]

Awesome thanks for all your hard work. Sterling your work is amazing.

[paulocarreiro]

What a wonderful ride! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Oh, and... Sterling is genius 🙂

[tmtech]

❤️❤️❤️ simply AWESOME… fantastic. I’m falling in love with this kind of journey. In Italy we have fantastic places for motorcycling turn and turn high mountain pass and very beautiful scenery… this is opposite of ours country… I love these open spaces.. miles and miles of wildness. Thanks for sharing
