Siskiyou Plant Explorers Hike to Bigelow Lakes

Saturday, August 9, 8am-3pm
Siskiyou Plant Explorers Hike to Bigelow Lakes
Meeting Location: Williams Grange, 20100 Williams Hwy, Williams OR 
Hike Leader: Matt Dybala

This outing will explore plant identification in mature subalpine forests, meadows and wetlands.  We will be hiking 1.5+ miles to the water’s edge at Bigelow Lake.  The first half of the hike follows a level old forest road, then turns uphill towards the meadow and lake, which is an additional 1/2 mile of hiking uphill on a slight ascent.  The open meadow is full of endemic and Siskiyou native wildflowers, but it can be challenging crossing over shallow wet areas to arrive at the lake. The lake is too shallow for swimming and more bog-like.   Please come prepared with plenty of  food, water, and footwear suitable for any type of  hiking conditions.  To register or for more information email Matt at si************@***il.com.
