For each of our published bikepacking routes and segments thereof, we include descriptions of the difficulty and challenges experienced along the way. We break these apart into physical difficulty, technical difficulty, and other challenging elements of the route. The BPR Route Rating Scale is defined as follows:
Physical difficulty
|
||
Technical difficulty
For our routes and route segments, route guides identify any elements of travel that are important to consider when planning a trip. Such challenges might include scarce water, high elevation, extensive hike-a-bike, impassible mud when wet, remoteness, summer heat, minimally maintained trails, or limited resupply options. |
