About this event
Ride out to USFS Road 19, aka the Aufderheide Memorial Drive, for a celebratory gathering. We will meet at the Box Canyon Horse Camp at noon on Friday, July 4. The campground is located at 3,700 ft. and is approximately the halfway point from Hwy 58 (near Westfir) and 126 (near Rainbow). It is a free horse camp, located on the west side of the road, at the top of Box Canyon Pass, directly across from a USFS rental cabin. The site has 13 campsites and vault toilets.

There is NO POTABLE WATER! So, bring your water supply, lunch, utensils, and a garbage bag. We will set up for lunch at a vacant campsite and have a small barbeque for your grilling pleasure! The merriment and camaraderie will be stellar! This area is within the McKenzie (541-822-3381) and the Middle Fork Ranger Districts (541-782-2283) of the Willamette National Forest. Consult their websites for more information:

USFS Road 19 has been designated as a Scenic Bicycle Route/Tour. The speed limit is 45 mph; watch out for bicycles, especially on the steep and twisty turns. This road is in better condition from Hwy 126 than from Hwy 58. If you ride a GS, take either route! However, if you are riding an RT or some other “Road Sofa”, you might want to consider entry from Hwy 126.
There is no signup or reservation required for this event. Show up or miss out on all the fun!!! Celebrate the 4th with friends in a gorgeous setting WITHOUT any fireworks to deal with!
