GRIZZLY PEAK DESCRIPTION:
An easily missed and unmarked “Grizzly Peak,” was once a pile of rocks simply named for Southern Oregon’s last known grizzly bear. “Old Reelfoot” roamed the area for 50 years before it was shot by a 17-year-old hunter in 1890.
It’s also one of our closest hikes to town.
We measured it.
Our members love Grizzly at Sunset (later in the season), or in the morning (like this one), for a moderately difficult adventure that offers incredible views of Mount Shasta, Mount McLaughlin, Table Rocks, and Pilot Rock.
We wind through through old-growth forest and mountain meadows, climbing to the Peak and through the charred remains of the East Antelope Fire, eventually culminating at early dusk with the hike’s best viewpoint (and one of the best in the Ashland area).
In late spring and early summer, Rushmore discovers a wide variety of wildflower blooms throughout the hike, and morel and chanterelle mushrooms are abundant in the spring and fall.
Grizzly is a special place to view sunset, and Rushmore is pumped to lead this adventure for our members this coming September!
