Hi!  Here we are, the tour guides and designers of BackRoadsWest.com.  We hope that you enjoy coming along with us on our virtual tours and that, after doing so, you’ll feel inspired to go and visit these places for yourself.

Our travels often take us into our big backyard called the Mojave Desert.  Sometimes we venture out of our home state of California and sometimes we even venture outside of the USA where we visit such places as New Zealand or Europe.

But no matter where we travel, though, our goals for exploring are always the same…. stay away from the popular, crowded and often over-rated spots and, instead, seek out the quieter, lesser-known, off-the-beaten path places.  When we do come home from our travels, and it’s too hot or too cold to be out exploring, we’ll be sitting in front of our computers adding to this blog.

Enjoy!

Cliff & Ilene Bandringa
