The Bureau of Land Management Back Country Byways are roads that have been designated by the Bureau of Land Management as scenic byways. Some are also National Scenic Byways or National Forest Scenic Byways. The program was initiated in 1989, and since then, 54 backways have been designated in the Western United States. Each backway is classified into one of four types based on the vehicles that can traverse it.
