July 18th- Red Mountain
Red Mountain is a beautiful high elevation ridge covered with unusual geology and rare wildflowers, offering birds eye views in all directions. We will hike along the Pacific Crest Trail for a moderately difficult loop of about five miles.
Aug 22nd- Cook and Green Pass and the Red Buttes Wilderness.
Natural lakes are rare in the Siskiyou, but we will pass by two on the Pacific Crest Trail in the Red Buttes Wilderness on this hike. This hike includes fantastic views, interesting geology and lots of plant diversity. This is a moderate hike covering about an 8 mile loop.
Sept 12th- Middle Fork of the Applegate River/Frog Pond Loop
We will hike to a beautiful subalpine lake in the Red Buttes Wilderness and loop around for expansive views from top of the Siskiyou Crest. This is a moderate hike with a fair amount of elevation gain and a loop of about 5 miles.
All summer hikes will meet at 9 am at Evo's Cafe in Ashland. The Aug and Sept hikes will also have a meeting point at the Ruch Country Store at 9:45. Bring plenty of water, good shoes, a lunch, appropriate clothes and binoculars if you have them.
