Ride from Arizona to Idaho on Utah's best unpaved roads on the Utah Backcountry Discovery Route (UTBDR) using this high-quality synthetic map from Butler Motorcycle Maps.
The UTBDR is a mostly off-road route stretching from Southern Utah to the Idaho border. The South to North route winds through remote deserts, dense pine forests and dramatic canyons. The roads include dirt, gravel, and pavement surfaces, and may include rocks, sand, mud, and snow depending on the time of year and conditions. There are several alternate sections of the route that include more difficult terrain as well as options that become passable earlier in the season. The route is designed from South to North, and is much easier in that direction.
The front of the map features the entire state of Utah with major roads, and the highlighted UTBDR route with beginning and end points. Each segment of the route is blown up into a detailed view on the back of the map. The backside also features valuable information on fuel stops, food, lodging, weather info, and points of interest along the way. Bar-codes throughout the map can be scanned with a smart phone to play videos of the route.
A feature length documentary DVD of the UTBDR is also available for purchase. Click

Just got this Butler Map delivered today. I can't wait for this UTBDR trip next summer. The route looks really great on the front of the map. I am impressed with all of the detail on the back of the map especially the elevation profile with the gas stops and distance between towns called out. The map is a synthetic material that feels very strong. The map even says that GPS tracks of the route can be downloaded for free at www.UTBDR.com. My only complaint is that the route doesn't go through Bryce Canyon.

Kick a** map guys! I have ridden only sections of this route but I can tell by the level of detail you guys have it is going to be more than sufficient. Best $15 I have spent in a long time.
