The tallest building in town, the Ashland Springs Hotel (formerly known as the Mark Antony and before that as the Lithia Hotel) is moving into its 85th year. Tomorrow thousands will gather in front of or near the hotel from all over Oregon and Northern California to participate in Ashland’s Fourth of July festivities.

Looking at Grizzly Peak from town you wouldn’t think that at the top lies a large, mostly flat meadow, but that is what you will find.

If you plan to hike other “peaks” in the area like Mt. Ashland, Mt. McLaughlin, or Pilot Rock you will find no such surprises on the top of them.

I have shown you the reverse angle view of this spot many times before. But this is the first time you get to see Ashland from Grizzly Peak instead of vice versa. The rain was coming down hard and heavy when I took this or it could have turned out much better.

For one of my favorite shots of this location looking in the opposite direction from town click here.
