A curated map of adventure-moto routes across the desert Southwest and Baja — BDR spines, dual-sport sections, and the camping in between. Pick a region, filter by difficulty, tap a marker for the details.
Ride smart: markers sit at each route's hub town or main access point — these are long multi-day routes, not single trailheads. US spines are official Backcountry Discovery Routes (BDR); download real GPS tracks from ridebdr.com and Butler Maps before you ride. Baja's spine is the Baja Divide (bajadivide.com) and requires a passport, FMM permit, vehicle import permit, and Mexican moto insurance. Always verify current conditions and seasonal closures.

The routes on our map follow the Backcountry Discovery Routes — a 501(c)(3) non-profit that creates and preserves backcountry riding for the whole community. They offer free GPS tracks, interactive maps, and detailed planning tools for every route. Before you ride, get your tracks straight from the source.
