About DBBB:
The Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway (DBBB) is a moderately difficult, high clearance route for licensed, street legal vehicles. It utilizes historic county roads around the Red River Gorge and Daniel Boone National Forest. It contains terrain surfaces varying between one third gravel, one third trail, and one third asphalt. It can be completed within a full day or two, depending on various factors.
What vehicles can use the DBBB?
The Byway is comprised of county roads which by Kentucky state law require vehicles operated on them to be licensed and insured (including motorcycles). Because of this ATVs and UTVs are not legally allowed to use the Byway. If you are operating a vehicle on the DBBB please make sure that it is current on its registration/insurance and that it meets all safety requirements to be operated on a public roadway.
What vehicle equipment is recommended for the DBBB?
While the Byway was created to allow stock 4WD vehicles to traverse the entire route, weather and changes in certain trail sections can cause the difficulty to increase at certain times. While AWD vehicles have become more popular they oftentimes don't offer the ground clearance or drivetrain to successfully navigate all sections of the DBBB. It is always recommended to never travel alone so please enjoy the Byway with at least one other vehicle. Recommendations: two vehicle minimum, 31" tire minimum 33" recommended, traction aids or rear locker, winch, straps, and the knowledge to use them. This route is not easy, travel at your own risk!
No 2024 4runner TRD Off Road Premium where harmed on this trip.
