Florence to Euceae, a boat 185 milee;
Baceae to aUrehftcld to Reedsport
to Eugene, about 280 milei. An al
ternate to the Newport-Florence trip
ie to travel over the Alseu highway,
running from Philomath to Waldport,
at the ocean end. The distance ie
about the same.
Beading into the Caacadea, the
most popular tripa are those op the
McKenxie rirer and ita many tribu
tariee to numerous resorta and pri
vate summer homes in the great for
ests of Douglas fir, and up the Will
amette where many beautiful spots
are being made more ensily accessible
aa better roads are provided.
A development which will make the
Cascade region even an popular la
the building of the Box Canyon toed
by the forest service, linking the Mc
Kenxie and Willamette nighwaye
with a north aad sooth passage
ta rough the mountaina. This aew
road makes aoasible a loop trip of
1ST miles from Eugene to Kugene,
every mile of the trip through sce
nic territory, much of It heretofore'
to be eeea only from forest trails.
Aa described by Perry A. Thomp
son, euperviaor of the Cascade Na
tional forest, the new route Is espe
cially suited to parties wishing for an
overnight trip which will allow a
maximum time to be spent in the
woods and still permit a leisurely
trip. The road la to be open for the
general public about July 1.
Tho Box Canyon road, Mr. Thomp
son emphasized, is not a speed road
hut a rood mountain road, easy to
drive with the average car but with
numerous curves, many of them quite
sharn. Motorists making this trip
should not attempt to go faster than
20 miles an hour.
To make thia trip, motorists may
drive to Oakriilge over tho Willam
ette hifcbway, 48 miles from Eugene.
At Oakridge, the High Prairie road
is followed for 10 miles to where it
crosses the logging operations of the
Western Lumber coniany at Camp 3.
While the camp will bo closed down
for the summer because of firo haz
ards, the new road is to be kept open
for travel. Three miles beyond tho
logging camp, a forest patrolman will
be stationed to record all partiee en
tering the area.
Seven miles further on, or 28 miles
from Oakridge, the firat camp
ground ie reached near tbe new bridge
over the North Fork of the Willam
ette. Another mile brings one to
Brock cabin, a famoua landmark of
the region for tbe past 40 years. Nine
milea more and the Box Innyon ran
ger station is reached. Thia station
ia located on tbe divide between the
Willamette and McKenxie watersheds.
Leaving the ranger station, the
road follows down along the beauti
ful Roaring river for about fonr miles
to Frixaele Crossing on tho South
Fork of the McKenxie, 37 miles from
Oakridge and 22 milea from the Mc
Kenxie highway Junction. From r nr.
ell Crossing on down to tho main
river the forest service has provided
a series of camp grounds for the use
of tbe public. Moving down tbe road.
one passes those at Twin Springs,
Homestead, Dutch Oven, French
Pete where the trail tnkes off for
the Indian Ridge country. Drift
Point, Knst Fork, Congnr Creek, and
Belknan Sawmill.
No camning is rernilitrl in th
area between French Pete and Ka
