@Theresa B yes, WABDR is great. I've done section 2 via truck, sections 3-4 on motorcycle. There is a thin window between the snow being melted and the wildfire smoke, maybe there will be fewer fires this year.

Get the GPS tracks from ridebdr.org and the printed map from Touratech or the like.

I'm doing the IDBDR on motorcycle from Boise north with some buddies the first week of July.

BDR is a must do. It really encompasses the beauty of Washington State. All sections provide a diverse assortment of experiences, especially throughout the year. Most definitely put it on your list.

Here are some of my faves:

Quilomene Wildlife area. I've been going out there since 1998.

Central Oregon

The Owyhees, SE Oregon.

Alvord Desert, SE Oregon.

Just a few. :-)

Used to live there. Lots to explore up Smith River. If you're into hiking, look for Kentucky Falls.

@Dan Cronin sounds like a song

@Theresa B Well, there was this one guy dressed in black...
