THE DETOUR MAP

What is it?

The Detour Map is a living field guide from This Way Wild, built from real trips, scouting days, filming locations, campsites, hot springs, fly fishing stops, local food, scenic detours, outfitters, hikes, and places worth slowing down for. Between all my research on Gaia, OnX, The Dyrt, and google maps these are the cross referenced places that I’ve actually gone and explored and they only get added to the list if they’re places I would return to.

It is not a list of generic travel recommendations.

It is a growing collection of places I would actually remember, revisit, or recommend to a friend. This map is only meant to include my favorite places.

A FIELD GUIDE FOR THE LONG WAY AROUND

Inside the map, you’ll find campsites, hot springs, fly fishing spots, restaurants, local markets, scenic detours, hikes, outfitters, overlanding shops, and places that make a trip feel more alive.

Some pins are specific. Others are intentionally broad.

That is by design.

The goal is to give you a better starting point without removing the adventure completely or overexposing the places that make this map worth building in the first place.

HOW ACCESS WORKS

The Detour Map is available to This Way Wild supporters.

BUILT SLOWLY. UPDATED OFTEN.

The Detour Map will keep growing as This Way Wild grows.

Every trip may add something new: a campsite, a fly shop, a hot spring, a small-town meal, a place to shower, a scenic road, a local market, a hike, an outfitter, or a place worth slowing down for.

Thanks for supporting the road and helping keep this project moving.
