Field Trip: King Mountain Area of Critical Environmental Concern
Location: East of Wolf Creek along the Interstate 5 corridor
This area has never disappointed photographers, hikers, or plant enthusiasts due to the variety of plant species spotted. Situated at an elevation of 5,033 feet, roughly 8.5 air miles east of Wolf Creek, this rocky subalpine mountain top offers expansive views of the Klamath Mountains in every direction. We will see a multitude of “serpentine” tolerant species. Look for the rarely seen Hall’s violet. A trail with a slight uphill climb leads to the botanical garden. Dress for (often cold) weather. No facilities are nearby. This field trip is a real favorite to our regular participants.
All Field Trips: Reservations are required. We ask that you text or call Rod Trotter at 541-672-1907 or text or call Donna Rawson at 541-643-0364 to reserve a spot and again the night before the trip to confirm your plan to attend and to be sure the schedule has not changed. Please join us.
