Dual Sport route from Canadian border to Walla Walla

Postby wazzy » Sun Aug 28, 2005 5:09 pm

I am looking for a dual sport route from the Canadian border to Walla Walla suitable for KTM 640. I am a Canadian living in southern Mexico near Cancun. A friend and I are planning to ride our KTM 640 dual sports from Calgary Canada to my home in Mexico. We are considering the Oregon Back Country Discovery Route which starts in Walla Walla. We also want to do Mexico's Copper Canyon and the length of Baja so trying to piece these routes together with as much pretty scenery and a fair share of challenging riding. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't think anything's ever been done in WA unfortunately, at least I haven't heard of anything. You might try the WA dualsport group at:
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/WA_dsr/

...and see if anyone's done something like that. If you find something, pass it on to us! :)

I understand this isn't exactly what your planning. But it is from Canada to Mexico.

I cant help you with the route to WallaWalla, but if you want to link Washington/Oregon to Baja, this trip report might fill in some of that space for you:
