WILD BXR TEMPLATE OR

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.

How Difficult is the Route? The ANDERSON BUTTE OBDR route is designed to be ridden on adventure motorcycles. There are many single-track style trails on this route but they are not suitable for larger ADV Bikes. Many of the roads are in remote areas and reach mid-range elevation areas where road maintenance is minimal or non-existent. You can expect to cover sections of road with some ruts, loose rocks, and other challenges. Road conditions change from week to week based on the recent weather. When you see signs that read, “Roads maybe impassable when wet”, use caution, roads become very slick and can be impassable. You may also encounter sections that have trees or branches over the road. There are alternate "easier" routes around a few of the most challenging sections when these conditions and weather make travel difficult.
