About The Route and Film:
This 871-mile route will take riders to iconic places like Valley of the Gods, Moab, the Abajo and La Sal mountains, Onion Creek, 9 Mile Canyon and the Wasatch Mountains. Utah is unpredictable with mud that is impassable when wet. Deep sand also challenges riders in places, and a few expert-only options provide excitement for those who seek adrenaline.
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.
Routes can be downloaded from our website at www.ridebdr.com
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.

The music was a bit grim, but the scenery is awesome. Looked like a blast. Thanks for making these available to the public. You guys are legends for this!
Just getting ready to post a similar comment. Lame.
Great video, Utah is a beautiful and diverse state for sure. At around 50 minutes on the cold morning , I thought I heard the guy say he heard the fire still crackling and burning from the night before. With all the wildfires we have had in the West please use prudence and extinguish fires when turning in for the night. Prevention and setting a good example is paramount. Best!
Thank you for all your hard work making this stuff!
I am so appreciative for the routes made by the BDR guys. I combined the UTBDR and the COBDR and it was the best ride of my life. I haven't done any other BDRs but I plan to do both of these ones again. Love to do them all of course.
I know this was only the second one of these done, but it would have been nice not to have 60% of the film focused on the first two sections. The rest of the UTBDR deserves just as much coverage.
I know, they completely glossed over the Mirror Lake stop. The place looks like Glacier National park! Probably one of the highlights of the whole route.
I’ve watched all these videos multiple times. Cannot get enough and can’t wait to take my 890 ADV on them!!! Thank you for all the work on these projects!
Love the mission and work you all do.
Personally I would love to hear a little less music and more engine nose in future videos.
Wow! Thank you for giving honest advice about conditions under weather!
I have done the Utah bdr twice with not a drop of rain just fyi
FWIW I did the UTBDR border to border in 3 days 9 hours 21 min with my dad. We were both on 690s and camped each night. We intentionally went fast but not totally crazy. We were setting up camp in sunlight still. But on 690s we were much faster than these guys. I also think they bring way too much stuff. But whatever, all I’m trying to say is that you don’t need 10 days if you don’t have that much PTO saved up.
Smaller bikes, aka midsized bikes are a much better choice when leaving the groomed fireroads
this is really great, I enjoy driving my RV to S. Utah and riding my dirt bike around, nothing too extreme. I've been down some of these roads, but this has shown me some new ones I will definitely try!
Thanks for what you guys do keep it up! Great video
Nice vid of Utah. The south gets much more attention when it comes to offroading, but Northern Utah is excellent in more ways than just snow skiing. Utah does not get a lot of rain; you caught an off week for the weather, it looks like. Thank you for the good work.
Thank you for making these videos. I feel like there is a lot of hate in the comments, I don’t get it. I think they’re great videos. Fun looking adventures, keep doing them! I have been enjoying the series while I’ve been stuck at home sick with Covid.
Looks like it would be a lot more fun on light weight dual sports.
That totally depends on your skill level and what you want to achieve. If by fun you mean easy then yes. In fact it is even easier and takes much less skill if you just walk it.
"871 miles, almost entirely offroad, traveling on roads that take you back in time…" Perpetuating the mystery and drama of the "what is the definition of "offroad" argument! 🙂
My response to these guys is a gravel road is still a road. A farm road is still a road. Off road means the path does not use the word road in it's name or description. 2 track ATV trail is off road. Single track is off road. Jeep trails are trails. Gravel roads, sandy roads, Jeep roads, roads maintains by heavy equipment (scrapers, bulldozers, graders, etc) are ALL roads.
@@briangc1972 you nailed it!
Utah looks awesome, this video or the footage at least is more than 10 years old. Loved watching it and it gave me flashbacks on the bikes and luggage set ups. Cool production with this in mind and the presentstion of the riders was nice. Bet these veterans are still in the game 😁.
Too much music.
Too much dreadful music
Another awesome route. A bit over kill on the slow motion stuff. Liked the previous movies film style better, and 480p? Come on.
I think this one is 10 years old, though.
@@captainamerica9353 Ah K that would explain it. I was just going off the Posting date of the video. They got more professional as they went.
@@wyattblessing7078 , yes, well they should show the dates of each run, or at least the year they were filmed.
It would have looked awsome in 1080p or higher!
True, but this is about 10 years old. Maybe the old ones will get remastered someday.
I can hardly wait. Once I saw all those huge bikes on the route, I knew the KLR could rip it. This is a 2024 trip...in fall? spring?
Haha! You better get your thread locker out!
too much slo mo
Definitely a bit aged, feels like early 2000s Discovery Channel :)
And that music…
I've done the mud thing. I left too late I arrived after 5 hours of riding to a 4 mile clay dirt road to get to my destination of a hot spring. I picked up that bike alone in the dark about 12 times. Really I had to push it into a Ditch to get it to stop sliding acrost the road when lifting...
and not a HD in sight
That music around 12:00 - 18:00 is seriously making my ears cringe. I definitely would have gone with something a bit more "Marty Stouffer's Wild America" than that godawful funerary music set to a drum machine. I feel like I need an antidepressant now.
Anyway, aside from that, these BDR films are seriously inspiring. Great work everyone, I seriously appreciate all the time and effort that goes into this and thr massive benefit for the ADV community. You are all amazing!
I agree, the music was horrible, even playing while riders were talking! The sound of the bikes and the wind would have been much better.
Glad I wasn't the only one. I'd like to see them re-edit this one. Redo the music/sound, and not use the pointless slow-motion so often. Slow motion of one person going over a small rock every other shot was brutal also.
Absolutely love y’all’s videos and thank you for taking the time to inspire us to get out and ride these routes. I would love to see the video quality in 4k. Not sure what y’all shoot them in and then upload but. Maybe RUclips is controlling the video quality? For me, this vid shows in 480p even after setting it to the highest setting. Keep up the awesome work y’all are putting in and be safe.
480p?????
Filmed in 2011.
@@MeerkatADV Aaaahhh that does explain it 😅 Love your video's tho!
Keep in mind the xxBDR videos are primary sales videos; selling bigger bikes. Selling the sizzle of ridding heavy street bikes on dirt forest service roads maintained for fire trucks and calling the bikes "adventure bikes." I have never seen anyone win an enduro race with the street tires in this video. I wont even use those slick street tires for off roading. It is best to have full on knobby in the soft sand else you are wiping out all the time. However soft sand is a lot better to fall in than hard packed rocks. I have never seen any of these bikes ridding around on the sand dunes near Yuma, never! So, but, yes they do go down the road better than the smaller bikes. One bike will not do it all. I like to trailer my off road bikes to the location and do out and back day trips. The 237 to 300 pound bikes are so much funner on the trail.
Itchy Boots makes great motorcycle travel video. Check her out. She gets over 200,000 views in the first day of releasing her videos.
Keep in mind this was filmed in 2011. I also have a KTM 350 plated dirt bike that I ride very steep technical single track.
That being said, I just ordered a KTM 890 adventure that I’m almost positive I can ride in Yuma.
I still plan on doing single track but less severe. These guys are all using big boxy luggage as well. Mosko reckless 80 revolver luggage allows for much less weight and bulkiness.
Why the 890?? My 350 sucks at freeways. being limited to trailering also has its limitations and your right. No one bike does it all but the new ones come much much closer.
In the end. It ain’t the bike. It’s the rider. I’m not Chris Burch but I’ve paid my dues and can easily hold my own on a 450 lb bike with WP suspension and brembo brakes
Ah the mid 2000's, when ADV bikes were bike and gorgeous (Big KTM 900s...), the riding gear was way over built, and solid panniers were the mainstay.
I live 20 miles from section 5. Will be cruising it all summer/fall. I need a riding partner..
hey what are the tents called in this video they look cool?
They’re made by Nemo
I've watched several of the BDR episodes and I'm a little nervous. I'd like to get a KLR, but I never see one used on any of these adventures.
KLR will be just fine, but will you ? I did a similar trip around Oregon on a very used '96 XR600 with no issues. Plenty of KLR experts out there.
Thread locker and a heavy skid plate and you will be fine.
The KLR actually does better on these types of excursions than do the big BMW bikes. The KLR is lighter and more nimble. The KLR has more than enough power. The KLR with the big tank can go twice as far as these BMWs can go between fill-ups. There is a good reason the KLR is unchanged for over 30 years; it just works. If it didn't, why would people still be buying them?
Can a full size truck make it?
A very capable full size truck. There are different levels to this BDR though. So if you are not taking the expert sections then a normal truck will do most all of it with no issues assuming the weather is dry. Wet you may be in trouble. Go to their site and see the different sections to this BDR for a better understanding of what you need.
no SN?
The music and narration makes me think that this is a colorized black and white film.
Is it just me, or is the video only available in 480p ?
They filmed it in 2011.
@MeerkatADV that explains it! Thanks bud.
bikes are too big
Big bikes require more skill. If you don't want the challenge then ride a little bike and enjoy what you enjoy.
@@WhatTimeIsIt369
not more skill differnt, lighter bikes do better in sand and you can catch air you don't think that req. skills@@WhatTimeIsIt369
Poor choice of music. Most of us would prefer to hear the sounds of the motorcycles. I have stopped watching a couple BDR videos because of the music.
Not worth the commercials.
The music is killing me super LAME !!! VIDEO GOO!! voice over not so much.
Way better than immature rock & roll crap.
@@dwayneneufeld1696 That's like trying to say one end of a turd is cleaner than the other end.
:))) Very true. Much rather listen to the bike!
Too much hype, not enough actual riding and maps are missing. I managed 15 minutes, then cut it.
Can anyone explain why anyone would try to ride 500-600lb adventure bikes off road like that? It is painful to watch their struggles and falls and see some unnecessarily get injured. They rarely even have the correct tires and it is sad to see them have to dig out the mud lodged between the fender and tire. It makes no sense to me and I am curious as to why. A dual sport is the best choice. I have a 300cc dual sport and I could literally run circles around them on these western routes. I can also do highway speeds of 85 mph with no vibration. Who needs to go faster than that when exploring? I can also carry as much luggage as I have seen them carry with the 1200cc they often use. Right now the only explanation I can come up with is ego, the biggest bike means you have the biggest dick.
It didn’t make sense to me either until I bought a 1200 GSA. Now I get it. I won’t be going back to a dual sport anytime soon… if ever. Different strokes for different folks.
@@wine_country_moto The bike you want to ride is a personal choice. But where and how you ride it determines your competence.
Because this is the US, and bigger is better. And what's better than bigger overloaded with bolt-on stuff (sponsors) and a bunch of luggage (even though they have a chase vehicle for most of these films). It wouldn't be near as dramatic on 350cc dual sports.😆
@@tellicoadventuretrail haha it’s true. I enjoy riding jeep trails or two track and then being able to jump on the highway for 300 miles at 80-85 mph like I’m on a recliner with wheels. 😂
Sounds like a comment from someone with a chip on their shoulder. Why would anyone care what someone else rides? And…. What on earth does it have to do with someone’s genital size?
Guy's, this is just my honest opinion. You edited me completely out of watching this vid, the mere fact that i could not hear 1 bike roar down the trail, disconnected my interest on every level possible, this is a complete fail because that's what made me feel like riding along and experiencing every piece of suffering and accomplishment. This was not at all enjoyable and only watched about 10 min of this vid, skipping from 1 disappointment to the next.
