Is the road legal and open?
Check the agency that manages the land. A route line does not mean that a road is open.
THE PLANNING DESK
Check four sources before you lose service.
Check road access, weather at trail elevation, required charging stops, and the latest road report. Check them again before you leave.
PRIMARY SOURCES FIRST
Plan here. Confirm the trip with primary sources.
Download the information while you have service. If a route crosses different areas, check each land manager.
Four checks before the trail
What is the sky doing?
Check the forecast at trail elevation. Also check for fires and floods.
Will the charge stop work?
Use the Backroads Map to plan the route. Verify each required charging stop with its operator before you leave.
What does the trail demand?
Open the specialist guide for the route. Check obstacles, recent reports, vehicle limits, and directions.
