Seems like it was just yesterday…

Take a step back in time and learn a little more about the BLM’s Backcountry Byways. This fascinating little slice of history features the 1991 dedication of the Medford District’s Galice/Hellgate Byway and the Grave Creek/Marial Byway.

Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, a history buff, or merely enjoy a relaxing drive in the country, the Pacific Northwest’s collection of All American Roads, National and State Scenic Byways, and Backcountry Byways offered by BLM and its partners will take you there.

Backcountry Byways showcase the variety and richness of the Northwest's public lands off-the-beaten track. Most of the byways are either paved or graded gravel and dirt roads, passable in ordinary passenger cars. Others are safely driven only in a high-clearance truck or 4-wheel drive vehicle.
