MT Backcountry Discovery Route

[HolidayDog]

The Montana Backcountry Discovery Route was just released today 2/7/26. It looks pretty sweet.

Crossing more than thirteen mountain ranges, the MTBDR takes riders deep into Big Sky Country, weaving together alpine ridgelines, remote valleys, dense pine forests, historic mining towns, wide-open ranchlands, and rugged two-track roads. Highlights include the Gravelly Range, Ruby River Valley, Virginia City, Butte, and the wild landscapes of the East Pioneer, Highland, and Cabinet Mountains.​

​

Blending scenic gravel, flowing forest roads, and optional harder sections for more experienced riders, the MTBDR offers an ideal balance of accessibility and challenge. The route is best enjoyed between July and September, depending on snow levels and seasonal closures.​

With the winter we have had this year one could probably start trips next weekend and not even see snow.



It looks like I put this in the wrong "topic"....not really off-rodEO...more of a general "off-road" topic.

I have run most of that area but still plan to do the Montana BDR later this year. Will probably do it in two trips because it is very long.
