BACKCOUNTRY XCURSION ROUTES are provided as one of the many outward focused ministries of Wild on the Path and it's Adventure Projects where we provide an array of Men's and Family Events. It is an opportunity for fellow adventures to enjoy a community of folks who desire to thrive in their walk with Christ becoming leaders in their own lives, tribes, and communities, while following Jesus everywhere He takes them!
ADVENTURE CHALLENGES are what we call 'run what ya brung' events and we mean it! The events are for the kind of folks who love discovery, exploration, new experiences, community, and the pursuit of God's heart. It is open to all levels of wildness! You can camp in tents, rv's, in hammocks, or off the back of a motorcycle. You might be the guy who sleeps in his car, or right on the ground. It's all good! During any event you will find us gathering together, usually around a fire and challenging ourselves to become better leaders in our lives, homes, and communities. Below you will find all the information you need to be a part of this Wild on the Path experience.

Adventure Saturday •Scott River • Forks of the Salmon rivers • and the Trinity Rivers• October 5thINFO: This Xcursion is fast paced, remote and is long in the tooth. If you are traveling by vehicle you may want to cut it short or make a mutiole day trip out of it by camping out in this remote wilderness. On a motorcycle, it takes approximately 6 to 8 hrs to complete the route and is by far the most remote, scenic ride in the Pacific Northwest offering historical points of interest, Old towns and several places for horizon viewing of the Marble, Trinity, and Klamath Mountain Ranges. These are the curviest, most remote, single lane paved roads, all located in the Scott River, Salmon Forks, and Trinity River Canyons. The terrain is rugged and often straight up and down along the roadside. If you are afraid of heights or suffer from vertigo then that this is a choice for the more adventurous traveler.
Departure Time: 8:00am from Medford, OR. (Blackrock Coffee). This trip as a single day Xcursion is recommended for early morning departure and into the evening travel especially during mid to late Fall. Springtime offers snow capped mountains and rushing rivers, June to July offers Wild Red Bud Bush and swimming holes, late September to October yield excellent Fall Color foliage. Mileage: This Xcursion in its long form is approximately 320.0 miles. Fuel Points: Hornbrook, Fort Jones, Etna, Cecilville, Gazelle, Medford.

How Difficult is the Route? This BXR is without a doubt best enjoyed by motorcyclist's of a more adventurous nature. However the route is great in SUV's and 4x4's for anyone wanting a great day trip or Hiking Destination. There are many offshoot adventures on this route that will keep you returning for years to come! Many of the roads are in remote areas and reach mid to upper range elevations where road maintenance is minimal or sometime non-existent. You can expect to cover sections of road with some loose rocks, steep drop-offs, and other challenges like maintaining your focus! Road conditions change in each season and based on the recent weather when you see signs that read, “Roads maybe impassable when wet or icey,” use caution! Roads become very slick and can be impassable. You may also encounter sections that have trees or branches, landslides and flash floods over the road. There are alternate "easier" routes around a few of the most challenging sections when these conditions and weather make travel difficult. Need to Know: Always Fuel previous to your departure and do not enter the Forks of Salmon without first fueling in Etna or if your remaining fuel range is not at least 120 miles! Don't forget camera gear. Thunderstorms are always possible. Be Prepared! This Adventure Saturday is also a 2-3 day BXR and can be done with an experienced companion. Contact us for more information.
