DIRECTIONS to Still Prineville Ride Camp:
ALL TURNS from the edge of pavement on Hwy 97 and Hwy 26 are marked with either “Prineville Endurance Ride” signs, "AERC" signs or "Mustangs To The Rescue" signs.
***FROM MADRAS and points north and west - A mile or so south of Madras on Hwy 97, turn east on Hwy 26 and proceed just about 11 miles. Turn right on good gravel SE Laurel Lane - sign states "Gray Butte TH / Haystack Resvr". Follow for 3 miles (pass Scales Corral) and turn left on Forest Road 5750. Follow this dirt road in reasonable condition for a half mile. Turn left at our "Camp" sign and find camp in a quarter mile.
***FROM PRINEVILLE and points east - follow Hwy 26 toward Madras to just shy of the 11 mile marker, which is about 2 miles past the intersection with Lone Pine Road. Turn left on SE Laurel Lane - sign states "Gray Butte TH / Haystack Resvr". Follow for 3 miles (pass Scales Corral) and turn left on Forest Road 5750.

***FROM BEND, Redmond & points south - From Terrebonne Thriftway, head north on Hwy 97 for 10.5 miles and turn right on Jericho Lane (signs for Haystack Reservoir and the KOA). Go 1.3 miles and turn right onto SW Haystack Road. In about 2.5 miles, the pavement ends, but don't worry - the road is still in good condition. About 1.5 mile later, turn left at a three way intersection. In 1.5 mile, turn right over a cattle guard onto Forest Road 5750. Follow this dirt road in reasonable condition for a half mile. Turn left at our "Camp" sign and find camp in a quarter mile. Please note that some GPS units may attempt to send you a more direct route on inappropriate roads to avoid the corners - we recommend that you follow our signs.
Our location is very near Cyrus Horse Camp. Our camp is quite roomy with plenty of porta-potties and plenty of water tanks spread throughout. Thank you for making the trip!  The weather will be enjoyable. Call 541-350-2406 for urgent directional assistance.

Is there cell coverage at the ride?

Yes there is.  Sometimes it is better than others.  But you should be able to get out texts and phone calls.

Is hoof protection required?

Generally, the trails are very nice and border on dusty.  There are sometimes hidden rocks and a few rocky areas and some gravel road.  Only you can make the decision on whether to use hoof protection or not.
