The Redwood Empire Endurance Riders invite you to join them at this year’s Redwood Ride at the Orick, CA Rodeo Grounds, north of Eureka, CA, 45 minutes up the coastline of scenic Highway 101. Mornings and evenings are often cool and misty. Days are pleasantly warm and sometimes breezy. No open fires and no dogs.

This ride is held in the spectacular Redwood National Park. It consists of 85% pristine trail, much of it through gigantic old-growth redwood forest, and 15% on old logging roads. The ride will climb from sea level in camp to around 1,000 feet. Vet checks will be out of base camp. So, most riders will be away from camp for the duration of their ride. The ride staging area is in Orick, CA at the Rodeo Grounds. Follow Highway 101 through the center of town. Coming from the south, before the Redwood Creek bridge, turn right and follow the road to the Rodeo Grounds. Coming from the north, after the Redwood Creek bridge, turn left and follow the road to the Rodeo Grounds.
