New Tracks Available for Download
A new version of the IDBDR is available labeled IDBDR-July2025-v1.0
This update includes a few important updates:
SECTION 7:
- Two temporary bypass tracks are included in these latest tracks:
- There is a closure north of Grandad Bridge for culvert repair which unfortunately requires an extensive bypass. This bypass makes the length of Section 7 approx 163 miles (normally 127) from Pierce to Wallace.
- Riders concerned about fuel range can take the ALT Gas track into Elk River for fuel, food, and lodging.
- Intermittent openings of this closure are possible during construction but with no set schedule. This construction is expected to last through July.
-
- There is another temp bypass track included to work around a culvert replacement on Beaver Creek Road scheduled to take place through August 31.
- Additionally, logging traffic is very heavy throughout Idaho but primarily within Section 7. Riders should use extreme caution on all forest roads, and Ride Right at all times to avoid head on collisions with other riders or logging traffic. Keep speeds down and be extra cautious in blind turns.
- Please follow the official Facebook Group Page, we will monitor these closures and appreciate the input and knowledge from our community of riders.
