Wilco off-road's hitchgate solo solves spare-tire issue, but can pose hurdles, tuesday, december 26, 2023, don't let weather, wildfires and work derail your wildland travels. just ask for 'plan b'.

Travel-season storms can make many of the West's dirt roads impassable. Wildfires can close backcountry roads, forcing travelers onto long highway bypasses.

Perhaps worst of all: Your phone ... and the office has your number .

For clients who suddenly must shorten or even cancel their journeys on our western wildland routes, we've compiled as compensation a free, plug-and-play GPX route file that can guide them along  spectacular day trips  that are second to none.

These routes -- all readily accessible from a single base -- traverse  terrain that is more mineralized than clay-based, and thus more resilient to inclement conditions than many western regions.

The region is more open and less forested, and thus less prone to fire. It also is convenient to the airport and amenities of Idaho Falls , a dynamic small city just west of Wyoming and south of Montana.

The routes can quickly be accessed from a backcountry campsite or even a rustic motel.

So be assured that if the three "Ws" find you, our "Plan B" just might save your trip -- while still providing the memorable wildland adventures you were looking for.

Love it. I have this pants in 3 different colors.

Awesome pants. The best pants from western rise

The pants are a wonderful alternative to wearing regular chinos. The material feels good and they are comfortable to wear.

I love how versatile these are! I’ve worn them mostly for work with leather sneakers, boat shoes, and double monks. They stood up to a week+ of abuse at our annual users’ conference last week and I couldn’t be more pleased.

I love these pants! They look good, are comfortable, and maintain their shape as the past goes on. Highly recommend!

Let’s get started discovering the most amazing road trips in the west!

California Highway One Road Trip Between Los Angeles And San Francisco

One of the most popular road trips in California (and arguably in the United States!) is Highway 1 between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Sometimes known as the Pacific Coast Highway road trip, this iconic west coast road trip adventure is on many travelers’ bucket list.

This 450-mile drive along the California coast has everything you could want in a road trip, and you can drive it in either direction.

While you could easily spend weeks exploring everything along this route,  4-5 days is a good length  to experience the highlights.

California is known for having lovely weather most of the year, but any time from April to October is ideal for this road trip. Late spring is a particularly nice time, with bright green hillsides and lots of wildflowers.

No matter what you like to do, you’ll find countless things to see and experience throughout this drive.

The two California cities that book-end the drive, LA and San Francisco, are iconic destinations you’ll definitely want to explore!

Take a cruise of the San Francisco Bay, explore Golden Gate park, walk (or bike) the Golden Gate Bridge, and tour Alcatraz in San Francisco.

In Los Angeles, hike up to the Hollywood sign, explore Hollywood, enjoy the beach and Ferris wheel in Santa Monica, and discover the many museums and gardens.

Animal lovers will enjoy spotting elephants seals, sea otters, whales, and dolphins along the coast. If you look up, you might even spot the endangered California condor, with its massive wingspan!

There are dozens of hikes in the many state parks and along the beaches for every skill level.

Santa Barbara is one of the best stops on the Pacific Coast Highway , and you’ll love exploring the charming towns of the Central Coast, from Pismo Beach to Morro Bay and Cambria .

Probably the most famous stretch of this drive is Big Sur , a 90-mile portion between San Simeon and Carmel-by-the-Sea that boasts the most unforgettable views.

Here you can see the famous Bixby Bridge, McWay Falls, and Hearst Castle.

Make sure you spend some time at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park and marvel at the stunning redwoods, and visit beautiful Pfeiffer Beach.

To the north of Big Sur, Monterey offers excellent whale-watching and a world-class aquarium. South of Big Sur, the little seaside village of Cambria makes for a lovely stop!

And don’t forget about the food! Take advantage of all the local seafood restaurants and fill up on some amazing cuisine along the way.

Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks Road Trip

For one of the best road trips in the western US, head to the beautiful states of Wyoming and Montana. 

On this road trip, you will explore the stunning Grand Teton National Park and the unique  Yellowstone National Park . They are two of the most iconic national parks in the western USA !

Start your journey in either Jackson Hole, Wyoming, or Gardiner, Montana. This road trip is approximately 150 miles.

A week is a good estimate of the amount of time you will need to explore this area.

The best time to take this road trip is from mid-May until late September. The reason for this is that many of the facilities and roads in the Tetons are closed during the winter months.

Jackson Hole is the closest town to Grand Teton National Park. 

When in Jackson Hole, visit Jackson Town Square for a great place to walk around, shop, and dine.

After exploring the town of Jackson Hole, make your way to Grand Teton National Park.

This park is famous for its stunning Teton range. The Tetons are a great place to take in scenic views, and go hiking, biking, fishing, and rafting.

After exploring the Tetons, you will be on your way to the popular Yellowstone National Park. 

See Old Faithful, The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Lamar Valley, and Mammoth Springs. Look for herds of bison and other wildlife!

The closest town to Mammoth Springs is Gardiner, the North Entrance of Yellowstone.

Get your picture taken at the Roosevelt Arch and explore this cute, western town to end your epic road trip.

the Oregon Coast: One of the Best Western US Road Trips!

The Oregon Coast is truly a beautiful stretch of the West Coast and is a great place to go on a road trip.

You can start your road trip anywhere along the coast, but the ideal starting point is at the very southwestern corner of Oregon, near Brookings, from where you can work your way up to Astoria, in the very northwestern corner.

To travel the entire coast, it’ll be just over 300 miles, and you can fully experience it in 5-6 days.

Though the coast is beautiful year-round, the best time of year to visit Oregon is the summer months, as the weather is warmer, and the sun tends to be out more often.

Even just the drive along Highway 101 on the coast is unbelievably beautiful.

Starting in southwestern Oregon, your first stop should be Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor. Here one of the best things to see is Natural Bridges, a unique and beautiful rock formation over the Pacific Ocean.

About 3 hours north, stop in Florence at Sand Master Sandboarding to rent sandboards and enjoy some time boarding down the Oregon Sand Dunes.

Next, in Yachats, you’ll find the famous Thor’s Well, a sinkhole on the coast that seems to be bottomless.

For one of the most unique and beautiful places along the Oregon Coast, head to Cape Kiwanda. This phenomenal location has sand dunes and red sandstone rock formations.

Cannon Beach, Seaside, and Astoria will be the final stops on your Oregon road trip.

Here you’ll find some of the beautiful filming locations for popular movies like The Goonies. These are some of the most popular places on the coast, so they’ll likely be fairly busy.

If you’re planning a road trip in the Western U.S., you should definitely consider the Oregon Coast!

Los Angeles to Southern California Deserts Road Trip

The Southern California deserts offer spectacular scenery, old west history, and diverse hiking opportunities. With several parks to visit, a road trip is the ideal way to enjoy the desert vistas.

Los Angeles makes the perfect start and end point for this loop trip, especially if you are flying into the area.

This epic California desert road trip itinerary covers 851 miles, and you’ll need a minimum of 7 days to do justice to all the parks. Of course, if you can spend longer, you can do more hikes, and take in more desert sunrises and sunsets (they tend to be amazing!).

It’s a desert road trip, so the cooler months of the year are the best time for this trip: any time from late fall to early spring is great.

Starting from LA, make your way to Death Valley National Park , where you can gape at the badlands from Zabriskie Point, drive up to Dante’s View for panoramas, walk the salt flats in the Badwater Basin, and hike the dunes at Mesquite Flats Sand Dunes.

If you have the time, do a short detour to Lone Pine en route to Death Valley. Here you can explore the beautiful Alabama Hills, in the high desert. The rock formations are spectacular!

Next, you’ll visit another beautiful California desert national park, Joshua Tree . Your driving route takes you through the Mojave National Preserve, where you can visit a historic railroad depot and climb even higher Kelso Dunes.

Joshua Tree National Park is famous for its enormous boulder formations and strange-looking Joshua trees. Hike, go rock climbing, and visit old west ranches and remnants of mines.

All of these parks offer excellent night sky observing. You’ll be amazed at the number of stars you can see on moonless nights!

Take a city break in Palm Springs , known for its mid-century modern architecture, resorts and spas, and shopping and dining. Try a date shake, tour a wind farm, or visit desert botanical gardens.

Your final stop on this deserts road trip is Borrego Springs. Explore Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California’s largest state park. If you visit in the spring of a good bloom year, you will be treated to fantastic wildflower displays here.

After you complete your explorations of the park, return to Los Angeles to complete your road trip.

Washington State National Parks Road Trip

This  Washington State road trip  is great if you only have one week to spend in Washington State, and you enjoy hiking, but you aren’t an incredibly experienced hiker. It’s roughly 550 miles total.

This road trip begins and ends in Seattle and is best done during late spring, summer, or early fall.

Once you grab your rental car in Seattle, head to Mount Rainier National Park. This incredible park surrounds glacier-capped, 14,410-foot Mount Rainier.

The next stop on your road trip will be Olympic National Park. Here, the Quinault Rainforest will be the first highlight to visit.

Then, drive to Kalaloch Beach, which is home to “The Tree of Life.” Ruby Beach is also close by and worth a visit, thanks to its unique landscape and rock formations.

The Hoh Rainforest is also worth visiting, as are the La Push beaches just outside of Forks, Washington. At Hoh, be sure to stroll the Hall of Mosses Trail!

After you’ve had your share of hiking, and the outdoors, head back to Seattle for a day of fun exploring the city!

From the Pike Place Fish Market to “The Fremont Troll” to the Seattle Center, there are plenty of fun things to do and see in Seattle before you head back home.

Utah Road Trip

The state of Utah is full of magnificent canyons, red rock formations, and other scenery, and one of the best ways to see it is by taking a road trip from Moab to Zion.

Stop at lots of slot canyons in Escalante along the way, and then end with the thrilling Angels Landing hike in Zion National Park.

For this road trip, you’ll need to drive a distance of at least 400 miles, and plan on about 7 to 10 days.

Utah is nice any time of year, although you might want to avoid going in the mid-summer months (July and August) because of the excessive heat.

Moab has lots of its own things to see, including the Arches National Park and a wide variety of canyons, dunes, and hoodoos.

The Corona Arch trail is a good lesser known hike outside of the national park.

Dead Horse Point State Park is also a must visit!

Some of the best places to stop between Moab and Zion are the slot canyons in Escalante: Zebra Slot, Peekaboo Canyon, and Spooky Gulch.

The canyons are stunningly beautiful, and they’re just now starting to become popular to visit. Now is the time to go before the crowds!

Other good things to see on the way from Moab to Zion include the Lower Calf Creek Falls (one of Utah’s nicest waterfalls), the hoodoos at Devils Garden (also in Escalante), and the Utah Highway 12 Scenic Byway near Bryce.

Once you reach Zion National Park, you’ll want to spend a few days doing some of the best hikes in the park, like Observation Point, The Narrows, and Angels Landing.

They are bucket list quality hikes, but if you are looking for easier trails, you will find those in Zion as well, along with exceptional scenery.

Montana: Billings to Glacier National Park Road Trip

Montana has a plethora of beautiful city and natural sites to visit, although the distances between places can be long.

You’ll need a minimum of 6 days for this Montana road trip, with at least 4 days on the road between Billings and Whitefish and 2 days in Glacier National Park.

However, to do it right, you should extend, with at least 6 days on the road and 4 or more days in Glacier. You could easily spend a week in Glacier National Park if you have the time!

Given the large distances in Montana, the trip will cover approximately 600 miles and take at least 10 hours of on-road time.

The best months for this road trip tend to be July to early October, when the Going to the Sun road in Glacier NP is open.

Outside these months, you’ll be limited in where you can drive in Glacier, but you can hike, cross-country ski, or snowshoe your way into many park areas. 

Starting this trip in Billings, take a quick trip outside the city to visit the National Monument commemorating the battle of Little Bighorn and pay your respects to the US and Native warriors who fell here so many years ago.

After your visit, set off east from here along I-90, taking in the massive cattle ranches en route.

Make a stop at Pompey’s Pillar National Monument to view the signature of William Clark (of Lewis and Clark fame) on the sandstone pillar. The pillar also features lots of petroglyphs.

Road Trip from San Francisco to Crescent City, California

From coastal redwoods to wine country and dramatic beach cliffs, it doesn’t get much more breathtakingly diverse than road-tripping from San Francisco to Crescent City.

Direct, the journey can take just 6.5 hours over 355 miles on Highway 101. However, this  Northern California scenic drive  is about 450 miles with the detours outlined here.

Spread the journey over at least 5 days to fully appreciate all the small towns, trails, and beaches along the way.

Setting off from the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, explore the incredible Muir Woods National Monument before taking the coastal Highway 1.

Many dramatic twists and turns later will take you to Point Reyes. Point Reyes is worthy of a good day or two of exploration, from the scenic lighthouse walk (if it’s open and not shrouded in fog!) to the calm inlet of Tomales Bay. 

You can stick along Highway 1 for the full Northern California experience. However, this is where you should head inland for a couple of days to experience the best Napa and Sonoma wine counties have to offer.

Advance bookings are required at many wineries for tastings, but there’s plenty to stop, see, and taste along the way besides wine. Take the Silverado Trail or some of the lesser-used back roads for the complete and picturesque wine country experience. 

Ready for some more curvy mountain roads? The northern Pacific Coast Range makes for some dramatic driving.

Take a cut through the Hendy Woods Scenic Drive, and you’ll hit the rugged but exceptionally beautiful Mendocino Coast.

Visit the famous Fort Bragg Glass Beach (if there’s any glass left!) and enjoy the dramatic coastal cliffs before descending back to Leggett and the junction of the northern end of Highway 1. 

Next up are the Redwoods National and State Parks, covering a vast area of northern California.

Your journey really starts once you hit the Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Make sure you turn off the 101 to experience the Avenue of the Giants scenic drive.

Many visitors choose to break up their journey with a stop in Eureka before continuing the dramatic journey through to Crescent City.

Highway 101 essentially runs through the redwood forests, so you can see plenty by car, but do get out and explore some of the trails.

The drive can be done at any time of year but do look out for wildfires in the summer that may lead to route closures and possible landslides in the winter.

Fog can also wreak havoc with the pretty coastal views in summer, and you’ll, of course, hit summer vacation traffic in July and August, making the shoulder seasons of late spring and early fall the best time for this drive.

This nine-day road trip will take you from Death Valley National Park to Yosemite National Park, with plenty of jaw-dropping vistas along the way.

October is the perfect time to explore this little slice of heaven: Death Valley will be a manageable temperature, Yosemite’s eastern entrance near Highway 395 will still be open (with the heavy snowfall it receives, this entrance is closed for at least half the year), and the eastern Sierra Nevadas will be covered with beautiful autumnal foliage.

At the Grand Canyon, you should start your day at the Visitor Center. Here, rangers will have helpful information about current conditions and the best hiking trails for your group.

There are also exhibits here with information about the Grand Canyon’s wildlife and geology. You can also access some of the beautiful viewpoints and the Rim Trail from the Visitor’s Center.

If you’re looking for an adventurous day at the Grand Canyon, you can bike the Hermit’s Rest Road, go on a mule ride down into the canyon, or take a helicopter ride over the canyon.

As you make your way to Sedona, stop at Bearizona Wildlife Park, visit the historic district in downtown Flagstaff, and explore the Tuzigoot National Monument.

In Sedona, there is a really fun downtown area as well as miles and miles of trails to explore. The  hiking trails in Sedona  are the highlight of this area. The beautiful red rocks, vortexes, and caves make Sedona an incredible place to spend time hiking.

Some of the most popular hikes in Sedona are Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Devil’s Bridge, Airport Mesa, and Soldier’s Pass.

The largest country in the world at 17,075,400 square kilometres (or 6,592,800 sq mi), Russia has accumulated quite an impressive reputation. Covering more than an eight of the Earth's land area, 142 million people live there making it the ninth largest nation by population . Still known for its impressive days as the expansive Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), Russia was the world's first and largest constitutionally socialist state. A recognized superpower, the USSR was known for its excellence in both arts and science winning many awards in both fields.

Russia changed drastically after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, but it continues to be a powerful and important nation. It has one of the world's fastest growing economies and the world's eight largest GDP by nominal GDP. Russia is also one of the five countries which officially recognized nuclear weapons states. In conjunction with this title, Russia is also a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, the G8, APEC and the SCO, and is a leading member of the Commonwealth of Independent States.

A European city in a country that lies over a vast part of Asia, Moscow holds one-tenth of all Russian residents . The city is located in the western region of Russia and is the capital and epicentre of political, economic, cultural, religious, financial, educational, and transportation happenings. "Muscovites" , as residents are known, tend to be cultured and worldly. This may be due to the many scientific, educational, and artistic institutions that are based here. An intoxicating mix of the exotic and the familiar, it is the largest city in Europe with the Moscow metropolitan area ranking among the largest urban areas in the world.

The city is situated on the banks of the Moskva River which flows through much of central Russia. Moscow is actually located in a basin for the Volga, Oka, Klyazma, and Moscow rivers. The city of Moscow is 994 sq. km with 49 bridges spanning the rivers and canals that criss-cross the city.

Forests are another part of Moscow's make-up. They coveer over a third of the territory in the region. A variety of animals like elk, wild boar, deer, foxes, weasels, lynx, martens, and birds make their home here.

Located in the UTC+3 time zone , Moscow has a humid continental climate. The summers tend to be warm and humid and the winters are long, cold, and hard. High temperatures occur during the warm months of June, July and August at about 23 °C (73 °F). Heat waves sometimes grip the city anywhere between May to September with temperatures spiking up to 30 °C (86 °F). Winters are harshly chilly with temperatures dropping to approximately 9 °C (15.8 °F). There is consistent snow cover for 3 to 5 months a year, usually from November to March.
