Field Trip: Spring Wildflower Hike to Signal Buttes Area
Location: Meet up at the Gold Beach Visitor Center (south end of town) at 9 am sharp to caravan and carpool.
Join the Kalmiopsis Audubon Society for the annual tradition: the spring wildflower hike to the Signal Buttes Area in the hills behind Gold Beach, proposed as the Veva Stansell Botanical Area. This hike is moderate to difficult and will include a trip to the Signal Buttes summit, with fabulous 360-degree views. Along the way, you’ll learn about the unique serpentine botany of our region and, of course, enjoy spring wildflowers! The total length of the hike is 4.25 miles with 840 feet in elevation gain. Wear sturdy hiking shoes and sun protection. Bring lunch, snacks, and plenty of water. Be prepared for the weather. Heavy rain will cancel the trip. It takes about 45 minutes to get to the trailhead from Gold Beach. Meet up at the Gold Beach Visitor Center (south end of town) at 9:00 am sharp to caravan and carpool.
