COMPLETE EVENT INFORMATION:
This special MEMBERS-ONLY event is why you joined Rushmore! Snowshoeing under the Southern Oregon stars is a special experience.
Our 2020 series continues with a venture up to Buck Prairie, about 30 minutes from Ashland. We’ll cover a moderate 5 mile out-and-back. The Reward; city lights twinkling far below.
CARPOOLING: Have a snow-worthy vehicle? Want to drive? Drive yourself or hop in a snow-worthy vehicle. This is organized at Luna. Please stay up-to-date on the Facebook event page.
**Note: we can only 100% guarantee seats for our official members, but this is rarely a problem. Chains may be required.
CHALLENGE LEVEL: You must be in good physical condition to complete this snowshoe. Overall, the route is mostly flat and moderate, but does contain one steady uphill climb, and can be for difficult if snow levels are fresh and high. Questions, just ask us!
WHERE IS BUCK PRAIRIE: A full moon lights our way as we experience the silent, dreamlike environs of the Buck Prairie trail, located about thirty minutes outside of Ashland, on route 66.
- Turn Left onto Indian Memorial Road. Continue on Indian Memorial Road for 12.9 miles.
- Turn Right onto Buck Prairie Road. This is the parking lot. A Sno-Park Permit is required to park here. Rushmore will purchase Sno-park Permits for all carpool drivers.
WHAT ELSE: Post-shoe reservations will be made at Standing Stone Brewery at 10pm. Come relive the adventure and have a burger!
GOT QUESTIONS: just message us if you have any questions about this Adventure.
SNOWSHOEING INFORMATION:
GENERAL SNOWSHOEING: Snowshoeing is easy to learn, and can provide a great little workout to boot.
If you have questions about our route, required fitness levels, and general participation, just hit us up on Facebook or email.
As always, the Rushmore Society is a social networking organization, not an outdoor guide group, so shoe at your own risk.
RENTAL INFORMATION:
SNOWSHOE RENTALS: We suggest the following local businesses to rent snowshoes from: Mountain Provision in Ashland. The SOU Outdoor Program in Ashland. Blackbird Ski Shop in Medford. And, if you wanna go corporate, REI in Medford.
All have tons of rentals available.
WHEN TO RENT: Look to rent the evening before, as most shops open at or after our departure time. Check closing time of your preferred shop.
COST: Usually runs about $10-15 at most shops.
FINALLY:
Winter time conditions can change rapidly, and road or weather conditions may require a rescheduling of this event. Please check the FACEBOOK RSVP for the latest updates!
If you have any questions about Rushmore membership, or this Rushmore Adventure, please don’t hesitate to connect with us. We are the friendliest outdoor and social crew around!
The Rushmore Society is Southern Oregon’s premiere real life social network of very busy people kicking butt and taking names through Adventure, Connection and Play. Do More, Live More, Rushmore.
