Tour itinerary and the map will be available to download here. Come join your fellow Bronco drivers to tour a few of the historic Covered Bridges surrounding Florence!
You can top off the lunch box with snacks and drinks, fuel up the Bronco before we set off. We will lazily meander the back roads, traveling through some of the most beautiful country the coast range has to offer.
We’ll have photo ops at each of the stops along the way, as the historic bridges pass over some of Mother Nature’s most scenic waterways and valleys.
Our last stop will be a quaint little market where we’ll have an opportunity to support a small local business, as we squeeze in bumper to bumper in the parking lot to hang out for a few. You won’t want to miss it!

We will park at the bottom of the Sweet Creek Falls Trailhead, were you’ll leisurely walk along pathways and view some amazing sites with plenty of beautiful scenery to take in. Wear your best walking shoes and bring some healthy hydration. Yeah, you won’t want to miss this one either!
Palmer Ranch
Our group is so cool, that we have been invited back to Palmer Ranch. Load up and come hang out, visit the food trucks, chat with friends (make several new ones, too), watch & participate in all the activities made possible by a generous landowner with property that has several opportunities for Bronco family fun.
Pack in your chairs and sunscreen, pack out great memories. All we ask is that we keep this family-friendly, clean, and safe so that we can enjoy this event year after year.
Please Note: If you plan to participate at this event, you must be registered, and have signed the
waiver. You can still show up, watch all the activities, enjoy the food carts, meet up with Bronco friends,
and have a fantastic time otherwise.

Sunset Beach Cruise and Photoshoot

Meet: 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm - On the Beach near Goose Pasture OHV Trail 1367
Each year, Tom’s Offroad plays a huge role in making this Northwest Bronco Roundup tradition a huge success. One of the great traditions of the Northwest Bronco Roundup is the annual Sunset Beach Cruise sponsored by Toms Offroad. This year will be a bit different than in the past. The crew from Toms Offrad have set up an opportunity for you to get a professional photoshoot of your Bronco on the beach. Meet the crew in this self-guided beach cruise on the beach near Goose Pasture OHV Trail 1367 between 6pm and 7:30pm. This is a great time to meet the crew and take in the beautiful scenery of sand, sea, sunset, and of course Broncos.

Meet: Goose Pasture Staging Area Parking Lot
Another Northwest Bronco Roundup tradition and we invite every Bronco to join us. You’ll find folks at
Goose Pasture OHV Staging Area parking lot, and you can follow the line right on out to the sand. Watch for
our event volunteers, and let them guide you into position as they coordinate with the photographer for the best possible shot.
Please try and be there earlier rather than later, as it takes a little time organizing all these Broncos into one
shot. Group photo will be taken at Noon.

Bring your sunscreen, chairs, and refreshments, then sit back and watch the action. Compete for bragging rights against your fellow Bronco families and have a safe, fun time out on the sand!
Old Town Takeover
Bay Street in Historic Old Town Florence
Old Town Florence is the place to be on Friday afternoon. Take in the sights (and sounds, and smells) as Broncos cruise the main drag of Old Town Florence (No Burnouts!).
When you can find a parking spot, pull in tight as there are a lot of Broncos to fit. Take this opportunity to visit the wide variety of quaint shops and restaurants, showing some NWBR support for the community that welcomes us back each year. Join your friends for good food, good drinks, great stories, and tons of fun.
We love Florence, and we want each even to represent how grateful we are to the Florence community for
having us back every year. Be polite, respectful, and friendly while you hang out with your Bronco family as we enjoy the hospitality of Old Town Florence.
