Try the TransAmerican Trail (TaT), a set of offroad trails for motorcycles from Tennessee to Oregon. Can’t wait to hit them myself!

Kinda blows me away that the Ouray/Telluride areas aren’t mentioned. One of my favorite places in the world.

Great selection!…but i noticed you didnt include any offroad adventures outside the US….! there are some great offroad adventures for guys a few hours away in a flight south of the border….mind you its the dead of winter in the US and Canada and here its shorts and t-shirt weather.

Northern Baja, from the border just outside of Tecate on down to Mike’s Sky Ranch just outside of Valle de Trinidad. A beautiful all-day ride on fast trails through pine forests, less-than-dry river beds, unique locals, and a good beer or two at the end. And depending on your route, you might even hit alonf the path of some of the famed Baja 500 & 1000 courses. The ultimate reward is that you get to wake up and do it all over again the next day…in reverse!

all i gotta say is PISMO BEACH is awesome. it isnt the biggest, but on holidays it can be a riot. especially on halloween. and might i say all these elitist anti off road vehicles people are just scared to break a bone or get a boo boo. oh and if you want a real adventure, try Clear Creek/New Idria California, probably one of the most remote places you can go in California.

Don’t you go off the grid or “escape” to get away from things like driving?r Walking trips are far more manly, less harmful to environment you seek to enjoy, and connect you better with the places you are visiting. How is it manly to sit on your @$$ and drive through something? The world is drowned out by the engine and you are closed off from the world.

What about The Appalachian Trail? Camino Santiago de Compostela? Tour du Mont Blanc? Pacific Crest Trail? Mt. Kilimanjaro?

Those are manly adventures.

Glamis is amazingly beautiful! The sand feels like silk and the sunsets are inrcedible!

Some of those ” pristine” UP lakes are seriously poisoned by mining chemicals. Just look into it before drinking or eating your catch.

Best place in the world otherwise.

I want to go off road in the mud on the moors in the UK. One minute you’d be on a rocky plateau and the next you’d be sinking in a bog. Rock on!

I am personally a huge fan of mountain biking as my method of getting away – and I live in the PNW so there is incredible trail riding year round. And when summer rolls by, we have epic expedition routes through the Cascades. On bikes you can cover a great distance in a fairly short period of time, dont have to worry about breaking many parts, keep in shape, and most of all have fun on the decent! I know I can’t wait for the snow in the mountains to melt so I can hear out on another epic adventure with some of my best friends.
