Ozarks BDR-X Trailer Released
Backcountry Discovery Routes (BDR) has unveiled the trailer for its new Ozarks BDR-X, a 480-mile adventure motorcycle route designed for weekend exploration. This loop, starting and ending in Jasper, Arkansas, promises scenic gravel roads and twisty pavement through the Boston Mountains, with optional challenging sections for experienced riders.
Adventure riders are buzzing with the release of the official trailer for the new Ozarks BDR-X, a significant addition to the Backcountry Discovery Routes network. Unlike the longer BDR routes that can span a week, the BDR-X series is specifically crafted for shorter, weekend-friendly expeditions, and this Ozarks route fits that mold perfectly.
Spanning 480 miles, the route is a loop, designed to start and finish in Jasper, Arkansas, a town nestled on the Buffalo National River. Riders can anticipate a diverse landscape featuring gravel roads and exhilarating twisty pavement as they navigate through the Boston Mountains within the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest. While the main route is designed to be manageable, it includes 10 optional, more difficult sections for those seeking an extra challenge, which may involve water crossings and more technical terrain.
Highlights mentioned for the route include iconic stops such as the historic Oark General Store, breathtaking viewpoints like Hawksbill Crag, and the thrilling descents of the Arkansas Dragon switchbacks. This route offers a fantastic opportunity for local riders to explore the natural beauty and challenging roads of the region.
