About The Route and Film:
The Wyoming Backcountry Discovery Route (WYBDR) is the eleventh route developed by the BDR non-profit organization for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel. Free GPS tracks, complimentary travel resources, and the route map are available at Ridebdr.com/WYBDR.
Riders will test their skills and endurance on this epic 950-mile backcountry tour of Wyoming spanning from the northern border of Colorado to the southern border of Montana. The tracks wind through five mountain ranges and explore vast high-desert regions on public dirt roads and primitive double-track. Expect scenic views, endless forest roads under a canopy of trees, high-desert terrain, flowing curves, rocky expert-only sections, and alpine elevations reaching 11,000 feet.
Riders will traverse two major rim escarpments and pass through many seldom visited areas and historic mining towns. This route regularly throws unexpected challenges at riders, and almost every section includes some technical riding. WYBDR is the most remote of all the BDRs, so preparedness is key to a successful WYBDR adventure.
About Backcountry Discovery Routes:
Backcountry Discovery Routes® (BDR®) is a non-profit organization that creates off-highway routes for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel. We have introduced a new route with free GPS tracks for the community every year since 2010.
Routes can be downloaded from our website at www.ridebdr.com
Our work includes rider education, safety campaigns and promoting responsible travel for motorcyclists traveling in the backcountry.
Our volunteer-powered organization works with agencies and land managers to keep trails and remote roads open for motorcycling.
Each route generates new tourism that delivers sustainable economic relief to less-advantaged rural communities. This creates local stakeholders who will help fight to keep access for dual-sport and adventure motorcycles in these incredible backcountry areas.

Good advertisement for riding a smaller/lighter Adventure bike on the BDRs...
Agreed.
The secret to riding in Wyoming? Fuel up at lunch…shut’er down when you are tired or the view is spectacular.
As a navite of Wyoming I've long been aware of what the state has to offer. When I think of Wyoming the term "miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles" usually pops into my head as it was one of my father's favorite ways to describe the great state.
How about "I Can See For Miles" ?
It's the type of countryside I dream of.. looks absolutely amazing 👏
You guys rock!! Thanks for posting this on YT for FREE!!!
Bikes Camera Adventure , if you don't mind all the ads, get free Internet, don't mind being tracked and spammed and possibly de-platformed, then sure, it's free.
@@captainamerica9353 Previous to this video the BDR's were around $20 each. Available on Amazon Prime Video or Touratech. The BDR crew spends a lot of time and money to make these routes & videos happen. I've bought a few before and was happy to support them. So yes, I'm happy they've released all of them here on YT. That is all I was saying. I'm aware of the YT machine and the game we all have to play when using it. But, if we don't like their rules we can stop using it. That said, I've just learned to play the game and have even made money on YT.
These BDRs are such an amazing thing to introduce to the world right now. We've become so disconnected with the world and each other. These routes offer a re-connection of both. Re-connecting people in the groups that ride together, and also with the small towns an communities along the way. Then riders get to experience the incredible beauty of the world around them while being able to stay respectful of it. Thank you so much for what you are doing.
My husband is there for work right now (May 2022) where he's at it snowed a couple days ago and he tells me it's so, so windy!!! And weather changes every few hours! But he says the scenery is nice (in some parts) so far he's enjoying his stay, also tells me that everyone has been very nice and friendly to him.
I worked in and near Gillette Wyoming for a year two weeks on two weeks off. Wide open country. Hard to find a place to stay, even in Gillette. Forget about a place to stay during Sturgis Rally. Do not go there in the winter! Snow never stops until everything is buried and it always snows sideways. All entrance ramps to highways has a gate to lock you in where you’re currently are when it snows.
Great film...love watching the scenery...would of liked to see some camping...so I need to ask..why bring all that gear if you not going to use it???
It definitely seemed that there were a few riders that wanted to camp more, but they catered to the majority with them, who were probably deterred by the cold Wyoming wind on the nights they did camp. While I would definitely camp the whole route, I also respect that they were trying to promote and support the local businesses. I will say that where you camp makes a big difference when dealing with Wyoming weather.
living in the Southeast I’ve never been jealous of a BDR, but this film has done it. I want to ride it now. Thank you for taking us along on this adventure and for making it available to watch on UA-cam!
Try the MABDR, it's apparently the least demanding BDR and a great place to start.
@@grandiagod Huh, I'll check it out. Thanks bro!
The southeast is nice but I'm certainly not jealous of you living there:) Wyoming is awesome, actually my favorite of the lower 48...yes, i've been to all of them!
So interesting tidbit, the wilderness areas of the Wind River mountains, just north of where the BDR route passes, is the most remote area in the US outside of Alaska. Also a place which is stunningly beautiful alpine terrain, but few people ever see it because it takes several days backpacking just to get in there.
What a compelling piece of film making Sterling thank you. I'm so jealous of the wonderful opportunities for exploration open to you guys over the pond. Here in the UK the vast majority of our beautiful country is owned by wealthy people who have inherited Square mile upon square mile of land from privileged family lines and who are in no way inclined to share it with anybody...... certainly not motorcyclists. "Get off my land!" is what we get at every turn ..... You are so fortunate to live in the greatest country in the world 👍
lol what are you talking about, there are plenty of awesome places to ride in the UK.
@@elobiretv there would be a lot more if so much of it wasn't in the hands of people with too much money 👍
Sterling delivers once again! 👍👍🍻🍻
Looks like an awesome trip! I’ve been through all these areas in my travels. That’s a loooooong ways to ride in the dirt!
The poisonous gas is hydrogen sulfide. It’s a byproduct of organic material being consumed by bacteria or something like that. Very deadly.
Thanks so much for making this available for us to watch! What an incredible journey. Amazing scenery. Expertly ridden. Great camaraderie with the crew. And spectacular filming. SO enjoyable. I can't wait to ride it this summer.
We can't wait for you to ride it!
How’d it go?
I’m looking to take my new Norden 901 Expedition sooner than later.
🏍️💨
@@lukefish7562 It was an amazingly awesome trip. Start to finish. I would turn right around and do it again.
I just love Sterling‘s voice so much, I could listen to him all day long.
WEIRD!
Has this been here for two years?!? I totally missed this.. But it's absolutely brilliant!
Not a motorcycle rider but we use the BDR for overlanding with our Offgrid Trailers. So we have to do extra research and planning where we can't take the truck and trailer and just appreciate the BDR and the people behind creating these awesome routes. Maybe you guys can also rate the trails for off grid trailers one day?
I'm not sure about the northern parts of the route, but I've personally driven Bridger peak in a stock Cherokee Trailhawk and would say at least that section is very doable in a stock 4x4, with an off-road trailer.
Fantastic 🤩
Thanks for putting this together, it has been very enjoyable to watch and think about how I can possibly do the WYBDR.
I have two critiques. The first is the tire with a sidewall gash. That is a non-pluggable issue and for those with tubeless tires, it is vital to carry a tube(s) so you can attempt to get to the main road and correctly repair the tire. I fully understand why you had a SAG wagon on this trip. I just want to throw that out there as a reminder. The second is the broken wrist. Unfortunate as that was it may have been avoided if he was NOT trying to film the sheep and ride simultaneously. Motorcycling in all genres requires perpetual vigilance and attention. Taking your eyes and mental focus off the path of travel, even for 1-2 seconds can be catastrophic. My point is, to stop and look at the sheep, then ride, not both at the same time. Once again just my thoughts on this and I do realize that things happen that are out of our control. Kudos to the rancher and the Jeepers. I have had Jeepers help in the past with, non-other than a broken wrist in a remote area of West Va. Great Bunch.
Awesome thanks for all your hard work. Sterling your work is amazing.
Over the years I've heard that Wyoming is a SUPERB place for back country riding. After watching this, I'm convinced. Super job by your team getting this film out. Will be headed to Wyoming in a few weeks!!
It's just SUPERB, glad not too many know about it:) Luckily it's a long drive from Denver!
What a wonderful ride! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Oh, and... Sterling is genius 🙂
Love Sterling, I'm a big fan of his UA-cam channel!
Great route & even better videography. I rode the OR BDR with 5 buddies years ago on a KTM 450. 5 days 1100 miles. Great fun, great ride with a dose of both deserts and technical mountain riding. This looks even more spectacular.
I have almost 50k miles on a Tenere 1200 that I just sold. Many miles of that were on roads that they just showed here. No more big bikes for me off road. How was the 450 on the trip? That is what im leaning toward.
As a hobbyist videographer and serious photographer, biker and creator, and ruthless critic, this production was hands down the best I have seen. the videography was superb, the quality of the shooting, the storyline, the vivid colors was astonishing. The audio crystal clear. The drone shots, gorgeous. The interviews made it come alive. This raised the bar for me. Kinda like an IMAX movie or BBC documentary. THAT GOOD.
Bravo.
Nice job BDR crew!! Taking off next year to ride all of the western BDRs! I've only done the MA, so I'm really looking forward to it. Thx for all your efforts!
Be sure to share some photos with us along the way!
THANK YOU THANK YOU
❤️❤️❤️ simply AWESOME… fantastic. I’m falling in love with this kind of journey. In Italy we have fantastic places for motorcycling turn and turn high mountain pass and very beautiful scenery… this is opposite of ours country… I love these open spaces.. miles and miles of wildness. Thanks for sharing
Funny, I sure recognize those two little "jumps" at 1:02:23 because I caught some decent air off of them on my Yamaha Grizzly last summer! I even have some footage of it because they were just right for the heavy utility quad.
Thank you all so much for bringing me along on this AWESOME route. I could only hope that I can experience it on my own one day !!!! Looks like a route I could definitely fall in love with !!!
Wyoming is a beautiful state. Definitely worth the trip!
Well done Sterling and crew...Great to see Jocelin and other women on board. Love the Big Horns but now have even greater appreciation for Wyoming and new destinations to visit.
The women couldn't even hack it.
Can't wait to ride it this September
This is awesome. Thanks for making this available. Watched the live stream and watched it again.
Thanks for tuning in twice!
Absolutely fantastic! Congrats to all the folks who made this ride! Thanks for a great video....Sterling and all of his crew did a wonderful job capturing some great moments.
Thank you for watching!
WOW! Excellent video guys. I have a lot to learn:)
I am a new rider. Lets gets the biggest GS for the ride. Yay!
Great Adventure !!
Fabulous Documentary, Wow, if i ever get out your way I want to ride some of trails.
looks fantastic
Wow, truly EPIC!!
That was incredible to watch. Very informative and inspiring.
Loved every minute of it. This makes it hard to wait for July, and my own WYBDR adventure.
Can hardly wait for you to ride it!
We’ll see you out there. Hopefully the snow has receded for us by then. Heading out mid-July.
@@theextremeesquire675 I'll try to roll all the big rollies out of the way you.
Looks like some great places to take my Jeep!
Route looks pretty sweet!
Following the BDR from the start. Another win!! Your team keeps getting better and better and does so much for our community. Hugs to all :)
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed the film!
Great to see you guys doing what you do. You girls are impressive to watch when you ride. I couldn't handle this.
Jocelyn is top notch rider and great partner for splitting off to accompany a fellow rider who was not comfortable with the technical section. Also, I want a tire change truck to follow me around, LOL!
Man, that sure looks like a great time. But I'll be 62 this July. I would need to get in a lot better shape to try this. I enjoyed this movie very much. Thank you.
Cannot wait to sit and watch this!
Enjoy!
Love the WYBDR footage. When I rode through Wyoming on the Continental Divide it just looks like Wyoming is a big desert, but it has so much more to offer. I will say, I enjoy the serene and wide open empty spaces of the desert more than most, but love the footage your team has captured. Makes me wanna ride the BDR! Keep up the great work.
Good video. 👍 really enjoyed it. Saved it to watch again with friends.
Thanks for watching and THANKS for sharing!
Nice vid, will head up there in a few weeks. Good thing you guys had Jocelin with ya. Great to see you riding Jos and I remind Antonella all the time...size does not matter. Appreciate all the BDR team does to protect this great place we call the American Back Country.
Great film! Thanks! Can't wait to go explore some of the beautiful backcountry in Wonderful Wyoming!! Cheers from Montana!
Cheers!
Thanks for the movie! It is the best over landing movie I have ever watched.
Awesome!
Well done Sterling and crew.
What an awesome route. Have done several BDR's. In the process of getting some of my local buddies committed on a '24 WY BDR run. I get that BMW supports your efforts$$$, but it is beyond me why someone would want to ride a 600lb motorcycle, when you could ride a 650 single or 700 twin with soft bags which would be better in every measurable way, and enjoy the more technical parts of the ride with so much less mental and physical stress. To each their own. I digress. Can't wait to run this next year either on my t7 or my 650 that I ran the ID and NM bdr on. Thank you guys so much for all the hard work you do to create these awesome routes.
Thank you!
Really like the full ride through. Really helps for trip planning.
Hope you have the chance to ride the route soon!
I'll be doing a bit of next month! So excited!
Ok, I’ve watched all the BDR videos, all 11. Now I need another !! Great job guys and gals !!!!!
Amazing and we are so lucky to live in this wonderful country
How epic footage. I'm in Oregon just ordered my map and decals. Thanks for sharing love it
Fantastic video! Makes me want to join the team! Thanks so much for your beautiful videos!
Absolutely good work you guys and girls do, looks like this one BDR will cover the whole of South Africa , where I'm from.
I'll make it an bucket list to do one of youre BDRs one day perhaps. Thanks for the good content.
Greatings David
Fantastic, so lucky to have so many amazing routes in such a vast continent, thank you really enjoyed this ✊🤘
Excellent excellent work. Sterling is an amazing director. The crew did great choosing / creating the BDR. Jocelyn always adds a nice lively engaging touch. Thanks all
Great presentation for WYOMING BDR 👏 Thank you!
Wonderful edit!
What a beautiful video! Very very exciting out there!
Great show.
Fantastic video and a great bunch of riders.....well done guys. 👍🏻
Thanks for allowing me to come along, vicariously, on your excellent adventure. Two thumbs up for the motion picture Crew for the Professional filming you did. The whole thing was a joy to watch.
Excellent
Oscar worthy. Fantastic cinematography, sound editing, visual effects / angles, video editing, and live action short film 🏆
We had a great crew on this film, including Director Sterling Noren , Cinematographer Michael Bielecki, and Drone operator Cameron Sale!
Watched the whole ride. It felt like I was there. I loved how you respected all the riders skill levels. Having a F800GSA and a KTM 690 R The 690 would be the perfect bike. What a great trip to be involved with a great group.. Ride safe and keep riding. Around Bend Oregon 2 wheeling
Nicely put together. Thanks for confirming my desires to do this route soon!
Just got my Butler Wyoming BDR map and have been studying all of the sections.
Just mind blowing ... what an amazing project, real adventure just outside of your back gate, we have nothing like this in the UK, over such vast distances with so few people . I love how you're intertwining the communities into the project and making them understand the importance of moto tourism .. that way when the powers that be and the fun police try to curb what we do... the army and support will be huge .... good on ya 🙌👌
I'm going to start the last part of the AZBDR soon. We're all mostly running jeeps and we've had a blast! Not sure which BDR we're going to tackle next but, looks like we've got some great trail to choose from.
Amazing trip... wonderfull land... love from Indonesia
Great documentary, looks like a very enjoyable experience. Wish I could go on a ride like that with good people. Hopefully soon, got to pick which bike I want first. Lol
Thanks for sharing!
So stoked to have a BDR in my state! Now I need an adventure bike, not sure my Honda ADV scooter would cut it lol
Excellent!
I think the BDR’s are the “real world”, and the hustle and bustle life is just what we made up to give a sense of purpose.
I'd love to think that my off-pavement skills would allow me to do this ride, even skipping the expert sections, but I know better than that. However, I can definitely see exploring lots of these areas in my Jeep. Not quite the same, but better than not going at all! Awesome work as usual, congrats to everyone involved!
Well said, cause when you venture off alone on your own, you are better off in your 4x4 Jeep, as you see here, they have a support vehicle and without it, they would be out there for days to get a broken bike back to civilization, but you can carry your own repair kits on your Jeep.
Awesome video. Hoping to ride it next year!
Thanks for all the effort in planning this great route and making this great film to showcase it. Nice all to see a range of rider ability and bikes on the trip...not just experts.
Anyone else spend 7 months at the BMW performance center preparing for a BDR? That's a unique training experience.
Imao right. Never been trained myself just figured it out
Nice road
Good to see all them familiar faces, and at 22:14, those Continental tires are just no good for such trails with sharp edges.
Probably best to bring some tires if you don’t have a personal support vehicle. 😂
Kudos.....that said a small suggestion. Add a side trip to the Red Desert , if you've never heard of it go spend a bit of time riding it , you will NOT be disappointed.
An hour and a half of video proof that these big bikes are not worth the effort it takes trying to keep them on two wheels and not their sides. It was like watching an elephant try to ice-skate down hill through a boulder field.
Home Depot in the local area sold lumber that they harvested from the beetle kill and it dyed the wood beautiful colors.
Beautiful!
Another dream ride for me. Living in Alaska means all the BDR's remain a (financially) impossible dream so I watch the videos over and over. Thanks for putting this on UA-cam so I don't need to buy the DVD!
p.s. Has there been a BDR where nobody got injured and required quitting the team and/or medical assistance? Things happen and it shows how quickly something can go wrong.
"Impossible"?, you just need a $22,000 Limited Edition GSA, thousands in riding and camping gear, money for hotels, food, and then you have a trashed bike when you return, figure about 1/2 in depreciation, oh, maybe a fortune in medical bills . . . .
@@captainamerica9353 Hahahaha! Right you are mate!
Thanks for a great video and well done to all those that rode and took part. Hope Brice ! is on his way to a full recovery. I broke my wrist several years ago but at the time I rode a CrossTourer which had DCT which made life easier. I currently ride here in the UK a 1200 GS but having ridden for over 50 years you riders and without wishing to be sexist the ladies in particular put me to shame. Gravel car park is my limit Stay safe out there Ted
Looks like a great route and if I ever get the chance to ride it I'd want Jocelin to go. How could you possibly have a bad time with her personality and enthusiasm.
Thanks for posting this, I missed seeing it when you screened it in Ft Collins. Looks like a really fun route, I'm trying to figure out a good way to get back home to Denver, don't really feel like riding the entire way home on I-25 on a 690 Enduro
We're leaving a pickup in Wamsutter Wy, riding down to the start in Baggs via the Red Desert side trip, and then at the end we're picking up a 10' Uhaul in Cody and bringing the bikes back to our vehicle in Wamsutter... the Uhaul in only around $150. Looking forward to riding it in August!!
Early shots showed a rider on a Himalayan. Later I did not see him again. Did he not make it? Or maybe that was one of the camera bikes? It was nice to see something other than a European bike on a BDR video.
Awesome video. Question, was one of those bikes a Tenere? One of them looked like it possibly was. Love the sound of the exhaust on that one bike. Nice rumble
Yes! One of our camera operators was on the T7.
Riding is the best medicine
