BACKCOUNTRY XCURSION ROUTES are provided by the Ministry of Wild on the Path Adventure Projects and provide Men's and Family Events. It is an opportunity for fellow adventures to enjoy a community of folks who desire to thrive as leaders personally, in their tribe, and those around them.
ADVENTURE CHALLENGES are what we call 'run what ya brung' events and we mean it! The events are for men who love discovery, exploration, new experiences, community, and the pursuit of God's heart. It is open to all levels of wildness! You can camp in tents, rv's, in a hammock, or off the back of a motorcycle. You might be the guy who sleeps in his car, or right on the ground. It's all good! During any event you will find us gathering together, usually around a fire and challenging ourselves to become better leaders in our lives, homes, and communities. Below you will find all the information you need to be a part of this Wild on the Path experience.
Scott • Forks of Salmon • Trinity RiversINFO: This Xcursion is fast paced, remote and is long in the tooth. If you are traveling by vehicle you may want to cut it short or make a mutiole day trip out of it by camping out in this remote wilderness. On a motorcycle, it takes approximately 6 to 8 hrs to complete the route and is by far the most remote, scenic ride in the Pacific Northwest offering historical points of interest, Old towns and several places for horizon viewing of the Marble, Trinity, and Klamath Mountain Ranges. These are the curviest, most remote, single lane paved roads, all located in the Scott River, Salmon Forks, and Trinity River Canyons. The terrain is rugged and often straight up and down along the roadside. If you are afraid of heights or suffer from vertigo then that this is a choice for the more adventurous traveler.
Departure Time: 7:00am from Medford, OR. (Location to be determined). Recommended for early morning departure and into the evening travel especially during late mid to late Fall. Springtime offers snow capped mountains and rushing rivers, June to July offers Wild Red Bud Bush and swimming holes, late September to October yield excellent Fall Color foliage.

How Difficult is the Route? This BXR is without a doubt best enjoyed on adventure motorcycles. However the route is great in SUV's and 4x4's for anyone wanting a great day trip or Hiking Destination. There are many offshoot adventures on this route that will keep you returning for years to come! On this route many of the roads are in remote areas and reach mid to upper range elevations where road maintenance is minimal or sometime non-existent. You can expect to cover sections of road with some loose rocks, steep drop-offs, and other challenges like maintaining your focus! Road conditions change in each season and based on the recent weather. When you see signs that read, “Roads maybe impassable when wet or icey”, use caution, roads become very slick and can be impassable. You may also encounter sections that have trees or branches, landslides and flashfloods over the road. There are alternate "easier" routes around a few of the most challenging sections when these conditions and weather make travel difficult. Need to Know: Always Fuel previous to your departure! Don't forget camera gear. Thunderstorms are always possible. Be Prepared!
