A new route for adventure riders, the Montana Backcountry Discovery Route, has been unveiled in the US. A long, mostly unpaved journey through more than 13 mountain ranges across the state, it's accompanied by a documentary film capturing its appeal.
America's sheer scale shows up in a route design like this. Crossing over 13 mountain ranges — just unfolding a map is thrilling. It's a different order of scale from Japan's winding roads, but I'd love to load up a tent and ride it there myself someday. I want to build up the dream, watching the documentary as prep.

For anyone who rides adventure bikes, news of a route like this being developed is exactly what gets you excited.
Are there Backcountry Discovery Routes in other US states too?
BDR's rolled out across various states in America, and Montana's a relatively recent addition to the route list.
A long route that's mostly unpaved doesn't sound like something a beginner could casually tackle.
The BDR series usually publishes GPX data and difficulty info too, so with prep you can take it on in stages.
There's even a documentary made about BDR - hearing from people who've completed it always makes me want to try it too.
Just hearing 'crosses 13-plus mountain ranges' makes me want to ride it - Montana's unpaved routes must have next-level scenery too.
