Synopsis

Wyoming Backroads takes you off the pavement where you'll find beautiful landscapes, natural features, recreation areas, historical sites, and an abundance of wildlife. This 480-page statewide guidebook is packed with 145 routes and off-roading areas for every driver. For those who prefer to stay on primary backroads, there are many easy backcountry drives that are suitable for most vehicles. To get further from the beaten path, there are dozens of challenging four-wheel drive (4WD) roads, designated ATV trails, and off-road vehicle parks. You'll also find over a hundred helpful suggestions for alternative routes, side trips, and other nearby drives to help you decide what you want to see and where to make your next turn.

Each detailed drive description is complemented with a black and white photograph and route map. For each regional area of the state, you'll find information on typical road conditions, driving seasons, fuel locations, land ownership, and preferred maps. This complete book also offers tips on off-highway driving, guidelines for safe and responsible driving, and clarity on regulations. From scenic mountain tops above shadowy forests to desert sand dunes and sprawling grasslands, this is the ultimate road and trail guide for traversing Wyoming's National Forests, National Parks, BLM lands, and State lands.

Review

I've gone to Yellowstone every year for the last couple of decades and thought I knew the park inside out until I found an unknown scenic backway in this book near the hot springs. I also found where the cover photograph was taken in the Grand Tetons and had no idea that such a route was open to the public... I'm ready to go. --Reader from Casper, WY

We like to ride our bikes on the backroads and this is going to be a really good book for us this summer. It's nice to know what to expect so we know how far we can drive our car. --Reader from Wyoming

This book has all my fav mountain routes in the snowies and now I see a bunch of new ones I'm going to check out. Looks like you got them all. A lot of value here for under 20 bucks. --Off-roader from Cheyenne, WY
