Event Information
Welcome to Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally
Thanks for joining us at the 20th Annual Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally! Your support is what keeps the rally all about motorcycling and NOT a commercial venture. Please encourage your friends to join you this year, as HCMR veterans know, Hells Canyon is too good to keep to yourself. If you haven’t registered for this year’s rally, what are you waiting for?!
Registration Opens January 1, 2019!
Everything is happening on Main Street in Historic Baker City, Oregon. Main Street will be closed to traffic during the rally and will be MOTORCYCLE PARKING ONLY. Visit the official Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally booth for registration, shirts, maps, and information. Also on Main Street is the Vendor Village and High Desert Harley-Davidson with a complete showroom, motorclothes, service, and of course, the Harley Girls! We’re pleased to announce that both High Desert Harley-Davidson and Sawtooth Indian Motorcycle are the exclusive sponsors of the 2019 rally. Check out the HCMR Schedule below for a schedule of all the fun to be had at this year’s rally.
Remember, open containers are not allowed outside on the street. What does this mean? Don’t bring your beer or drink outside the establishment in which it was purchased. Keep your drinks in the bar! If you’ve been drinking, don’t ride your bike, take our shuttle bus! The shuttle has been a BIG hit every year and really makes the cops happy! Shuttle bus service for registered HCMR riders starts at 3:00 p.m. on Friday until late into the night, with similar hours for Saturday.

Why Monday? We encourage all rally participants to travel home on Monday. Traveling back on Monday means less traffic and safer roads for everyone. Plus, you know you’ll be wanting that extra day off from work!
