Overlanding

Overlanding

A fusion of camping, off-roading and exploring that delivers a unique Adventure, Overlanding has grown exponentially over the last few years. Properly outfitted vehicles, dual sport bikes and even mountain bikes can get well off the beaten track, exploring backroads and boondocking or wild camping on Crown land, discovering spectacular locations to spend a night, weekend, week or even longer. Regardless of where your Adventure takes you, from the rugged backroads of Northern British Columbia, or resource roads leading into Northern Ontario wilderness where a four-wheel drive and winch are often needed to the scenic paved routes of the Icefields Parkway and Cabot Trail, Backroad Maps provides everything an overlander needs to create a memorable trip.

We have developed some exceptional overland routes described in detail in our new Mapbook Overland sections and within our BRMB App and Web Map while routes are clearly laid out in both the BRMB App, Web Map and our GPS Maps. Looking to forge your own path? Our products clearly show Crown Land along with backroads, backcountry campsites, recreation sites, lakes and more! Adding to these options, look for trails to explore, attractions to visit or the best locations to spot wildlife along your chosen route. All that is required to live the Overland life is a love of the great outdoors, camping culture and a desire to discover new destinations.
