Washington BDR Motorcycle Map | Butler Maps WABDR Cascade Mountains Guide

Conquer the Pacific Northwest’s premier off-road corridor with the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route (WABDR) Map by Butler Maps. Meticulously updated for the 5th Edition, this dual-sport and adventure motorcycle map tracks the legendary 575-mile backcountry route slicing north-south through the spine of the Cascade Mountains. Your journey kicks off along the Columbia River in Stevenson, WA, weaving through dense rainforests and volcanic vistas before transitioning into the sun-drenched, arid pine forests of central Washington, finally culminating at the Canadian border in Night Hawk.

True to the Butler Maps standard, every single track, paved twisty, and rugged fire road highlighted on this map was ridden, scouted, and rated by a real human being. Designed to survive the worst tank-bag abuse, this map is printed on 100% waterproof and tear-resistant synthetic paper and folds down to a compact 4.25” x 9” for quick on-the-bike access. Complete with elevation profiles to mentally prepare you for towering mountain passes, detailed section breakdowns, and QR codes linking to vital trail updates, it is the definitive planning asset for an unforgettable 5-to-6-day overlanding expedition.
