MOUNT ASHLAND DESCRIPTION:
Did you know, Mount Ashland has flora that is so unique, it is ONLY found on the slopes of Mt. A, and no where else in the world?
We looked it up. It’s true.
Rushmore members love this “EM” FOR EASY-MODERATE adventure for it’s clean, well-groomed trek along the southern slope of Mt. Ashland.
It’s a perfect environment for colorful wildflowers that burst to life in late spring and early summer.
Follow along as Rushmore leads you to Grouse Gap, a well-provided for half way snack and restroom stop, and enjoy wonderful picture vistas and friendly conversations.
This is why you live here. Join in!
