We continue on Section 4 of the Idaho BDR (Backcountry Discovery Route) from Darby to Elk City. This route includes the most popular Idaho Overland road segment the “Magruder Corridor”.
You can expect moderately rough and narrow roads with more frequent traffic on this historic 101 mile single lane road. Primarily you’ll encounter dual sport motorcycles. Be watchful. The road travels through the Selway-Bitterroot and Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. Sadly much of the forest has been burned and fires are common in the summer months. Be sure to check road condition and status before heading out.
Burnt Knob Fire Lookout is an exceptional detour to explore. It is a rough, steep 4WD only road. This is my favorite lookout tower in Idaho by far. Please tread lightly and keep these special sites trash free. It’s a special place!
Next week… our adventure continues!
