## Overview

Box Canyon Guard Station sits beneath a canopy of Douglas fir at an altitude
of 3,620 feet on the West Cascades National Scenic Byway. It is located
approximately 75 miles southeast of Eugene, Oregon in the Willamette National
Forest. The guard station was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933
and used as a dwelling for fire guards. They were the smoke chasers, often
riding on horseback through the tall timbers to the location spotted by the
lookout tower guards. The first on the scene, they often tried to put out any
fires they may have found on their own, or reported back for additional help.
The guard station is open from early May through the end of October and is
easily accessible by car. Some creature comforts are provided, but guests
should be prepared to pack in most of their own supplies and gear.
