backcountry roads
Remote rural paths
Backcountry roads are unpaved or minimally maintained routes through remote, sparsely populated areas far from major highways and towns.
They wind through wilderness, forests, mountains, or rural landscapes where cell service is spotty and amenities are scarce.
Drivers take backcountry roads for scenic beauty, access to hiking trails or hunting grounds, or simply to get off the beaten path.
We spent the afternoon exploring backcountry roads in the national forest.
