The Washington Backcountry Discovery Route is a 575 mile mostly off road route stretching from the Canadian border in Northern Washington all the way to the border with Oregon at Stevenson, WA. This past July, several friends and I set out to ride the entire WABDR backwards (from Canada to Oregon) on our adventure motorcycles, motorcycle camping each night along the way. It was an amazing trip filled with drama and excitement. We started the journey with six riders and ended up finishing the WABDR with just two because of injuries and family emergencies. This epic, feature-length Washington BDR movie features each day of WABDR adventure motorcycle riding, each night of WABDR motocamping, and all the shenanigans in between. If you're looking for an in-depth look at what it's like to ride a motorcycle on the Washington BDR or curious about WABDR difficulty, I've tried my best to capture the most important parts to allow you to be as prepared to ride the Washington BDR on a motorcycle as possible. Hopefully you enjoy this WABDR trip and maybe it'll inspire you to get out and ride the Washington Back Country Discovery Route on your own some day!
