This is a view from Hwy-214 between Salem and Silver Falls State Park.  Depending on the time of year, the view can vary widely.

You can see the location here here at Google Maps.

Aufderheide Memorial Drive is reached from the Eugene-Springfield area either by traveling the McKenzie Highway (Hwy. 126) to a point 3.5 miles above Blue River or by traveling Highway 58 and then turning north to Westfir. The road travels along the South Fork of the McKenzie River and the North Fork of the Willamette River and through Box Canyon.

You can follow the road at Google Maps here. This road, formerly called Forest Road 19, North Fork Road, and sometimes called the “Box Canyon Road”, is now called the Aufderheide Memorial Drive or Aufderheide Scenic Drive.  Like many other scenic drives, it is worth the trip.
