What is the road to Backland like?

​

The road to Backland is part of the adventure, but it may not be for everyone. The last 8 miles (around 15-20 mins) of your trip will be on scenic and beautiful unpaved Forest Service roads. These roads are graveled, well maintained, clearly marked and are suitable for most vehicles. We do not suggest motorcycles, or ultra low clearance sports cars.  Four-wheel drive is generally not necessary, though it is required in icy/snowy conditions. You can expect there to be some wash boarding on the roads and depending on the weather an occasional shallow puddle. After your trip to Backland your car will likely be dusty (or muddy if it has rained). A trip to the car wash will probably be necessary if you have rented your vehicle. If you are anything like us, you will find the destination is well worth the trip.
