Are you looking for some motivation to get out, hit the trail, and get some adventure between your toes? Are you looking to possibly do that in Utah? If so, we may have just the thing for you - the newest Backcountry Discovery Route was just released for Utah. The idea behind the Backcountry Discovery Route series is simple - to promote community-based efforts to preserve off-highway routes for adventure travel - and we dig it. Summer is just around the corner, could this be your next adventure? 


Passing through beautiful and scenic locations such as the Valley of the Gods, Nine Mile Canyon, Moab, and the Wasatch Mountains, the 871 mile route runs from South to North and focuses on un-paved backroads and remote trails. If it's anything like the other Backcountry Discovery Routes - This one is sure to impress.

You can download the GPS Tracks for free here  or you can purchase one of Butler's excellent waterproof motorcycle maps for $14.95 

To ensure you're sufficiently pumped for the journey - there's a DVD you can purchase for $24.95. The documentary from Curbsyde Productions follows three adventure motorcyclists on bikes ranging from a KTM 990, to a BMW R1200GS on their expedition as they create the first UTBDR (Utah Backcountry Discovery Route).
