Washington backcountry discovery route.
If you were going to run this would you go north to south or south to north?
I'm thinking about planning a trip over starting the weekend before July 4th. Also anyone interested in doing this trip with me? From what I've seen you don't need a super capable rig to do it.

You can follow me.... but it's gonna hurt
Re: Washington backcountry discovery route.
How many days are you planning to take?
This is a trip that very much interests me, just a lot of miles.

Re: Washington backcountry discovery route.
My plan is friday June 29 - Wed July 4th, 6 days. From what I've read it typically takes 5-6 days. So hopefully that's enough time.

Re: Washington backcountry discovery route.
Personally, I would run South to North because I think the scenery gets better as you push into the Northern portion of the state. As you noted, the WABDR is definetly not about four wheeling, it’s all about being out there and soaking it in. Local bucket list stuff for sure!!
Would love to join you but I’ll be on the annual pilgrimage to SoCal, via the Rubicon Trail of course

Yep, I've wheeled one of those, too...

south to north. I think getting farther north you have more exit options if you run short on time. Or if you get north early it would be a nice place to chill for a bit.

I'm interested Tim, can't commit to anything right now but I've wanted to do this someday.

Is there any specific event there at this time, Toby? Is it an annual event for you?

Re: Washington backcountry discovery route.
Still planning on it. Just have to get my bronco ready and figure out the logistics.

The wife and minions fly to So Cal every summer to visit the grandparents. I try to take advantage of the situation and squeeze in a trail ride or five while they are gone, or do something fun like the Rubicon on the road trip down to meet up with them.
Yep, I've wheeled one of those, too...

For those interested in going this is a link to a YouTube series that will give you an idea what to expect.

Re: Washington backcountry discovery route.
I'm interested. The drop-off and pickup points would be the toughest parts to plan.
Re: Washington backcountry discovery route.
Bought a map for the occasion.

Re: Washington backcountry discovery route.
So do we need a planning meeting?
Re: Washington backcountry discovery route.
Probably not a bad idea. What works best for everyone else?

Re: Washington backcountry discovery route.
Those that are interested in making this trip. When would you like to get together for a planning session? I'm thinking Sunday or Monday night.

I don't Text (at least not very well), I eat Blackberrys, and I only Twitter after sex...

Re: Washington backcountry discovery route.
We are out of town again this weekend so Monday the 11th or later is good.
Re: Washington backcountry discovery route.
So Monday the 11th at 6pm. Any preferences on where? If not we can do it in my shop and grill some meat.

Re: Washington backcountry discovery route.
Your shop sounds fine. I’ll be there at 6.
