I ran across this while browsing the interwebs for Expedition type routes.

Thought it might be of interest to some of the members here. This is the type of thing that gets me all revved up about my TJ. 820 miles of backroadsacross three state! Whoohoo! Anyone run this, or parts of this?
Quote from the Bestrest Products web site:
"BestRest Product’s Northwest Passage Adventure Route is an off-road dual-sport motorcycle route that runs from the Puget Sound area of Washington, eastward to Stevens Pass, then north to the eastern side of the Pasayten Wilderness, then eastward along the Canadian border, entering into Idaho around Priest Lake, then eastward into northwestern Montana, where it finally connect with the northern terminus of the Continental Divide Route.
The NWP is normally ridden as loop starting in the Seattle area and returning to the Seattle area, but it can also be a one-way trail. Overall mileage varies depending on the alternates you select. The traditional route runs 607 miles from the Seattle area to the eastern side of Priest Lake, ID. If you continue eastward to the Montana CDR terminus you can add another 211 miles. 70-80 % of the route is gravel or dirt. There are paved sections along the way, but we avoided pavement when possible.
Riding time is 6 days, which includes the return trip to the Puget Sound area. If you're going to the north end of the CDR it will take you 5 days to get there, from Seattle. Riding the NWP in reverse? No problem, just work the itineraries backwards."
If you have other overlanding routes that you run, please share.
