Starting at Grand Junction, CO, we rode south to Cortez then rode the BDR to Baggs, Wy. This video covers sections 1-3 of the BDR and includes the major passes, altitude sickness, and sprained finger.
I didn't think Ophir Pass was all that difficult, however, the final climb up to Hurricane Pass was very steep and rocky making it a challenging climb for an intermediate rider on a loaded mid-size adventure bike.
Stick around to the end and see what Paul cooks for dinner.
