Idaho BDR Section 7​

Keep an eye out here as we will update the latest info on this second post.

We will update the GPX file with more detail as we get closer. Be sure to fully read the trip detail, you will need offline navigation, comms, preferably HAM but GMRS will work, and dust lights. This will be a fun one!

It’s mostly forest roads, nothing too difficult, but it is multi-day

We'll be running from pine to the Canadian border at the end of July. This will be the longest trip we'll have done. Solo, I would love this..... I'm hoping the wife doesn't hate it. And I'm hoping I don't murder my 6yo...lol.

Haha you’ve got some variables to contend with!

This sounds like a great trip. I’m just lacking spot lights. I’m in on this one.

@NWFJ and I started this section last summer. We got from Wallace to Magee Airstrip before we had to bail as we were short on time. We camped the first night just outside Wallace at a Hipcamp overlooking the freeway and got started a bit late. Second camp was in a pull off on a hairpin. Had a thunderstorm that night to the south that missed us by a small bit. First couple sections of trail were super tight as far as vegetation. Lots of pinstrioing and one hidden hard branch down the side of each rig. Still pretty stinkin’ fun, though. I have a few potential camp sites listed on OB1 up until around Spyglass. Spyglass spur was closed to the top of Spyglass mountain.

I'm in! What are you thinking for a start time on the 23rd? I usually work until 1 but could catch up via a short cut or take a few hours off. Fun!!

That’s great info, we will take any input you’ve got

Is this the trip you spoke of that had an option for just a day trip?

You could come along for part of it and turn around when you need to, but there’s also June 10th on the calendar that is Moon Pass that is a day trip

I discovered that after I sent that. Thanks. Any way to download the route?
