COMPLETE BOCCARD POINT DETAILS:
Do More, Live More Hikers unite, let’s tackle and explore a Southern Oregon classic with 360 degree views of the Rogue Valley.
BOCCARD POINT IS RATED “EASY”.
Our Adventure covers a total of 4.2 miles, with moderate, gentle elevation gain. Bring your puppies and your camera!
Another locals hidden gem, the near-panoramic views from the Point offers glimpses of three mountain ranges. To the southwest rise the ancient Klamaths adjacent to Mount Shasta. To the west is Pilot Rock, the Siskiyous, and Mount Ashland, and to the north continue the Cascades. Spread-out below you is the Soda Mountain Wilderness.
DRIVING DIRECTIONS:
To reach the trailhead, go east from Ashland, Oregon on Highway 66 for about 14 miles to near Greensprings Summit and take a right on Tyler Creek Road. After about a mile, make a left on to Baldy Creek Road and follow it the ridge where a gap opens to the left. There should be a sign here saying the road is closed further ahead.
Park here (room for 3-4 vehicles but no amenities) and hike east across the Pacific Crest Trail (there are signs here for it) and continue on heading eastward and slightly uphill along what was obviously once an old road. The old road meanders around a gentle slope and through the forested headwaters of the Dutch Oven Creek drainage. After about 1.8 miles, the old road ends and from there you follow an obvious (well-used) use trail southeast for about a quarter mile to the famous rocky outcrop known as Boccard Point.
Nothing beats awesome people in the great outdoors. Bring that camera! Let’s get out and go.
The Rushmore Society is your premiere real life social network of very busy people living life to the fullest with Adventure, Connection and Play. Do More, Live More, Rushmore.
