Mt. McLoughlin
A different point of view of Mt. McLoughlin in Southern Oregon…
Table Rock
Table Rock in Medford makes for a great hike or a great view from any angle.
View from Medford Airport
I love clouds, and they were looking mighty nice on the morning we took off from the Medford airport last summer.
Another angle on the Avenue of Giant Boulders
For directions to this little piece of heaven see my prior blog entry.
Ashland Springs Hotel
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.
Top of Grizzly
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.
Ashland from Grizzly Peak
Ashland, Oregon from Grizzly Peak
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.
Top of Grizzly Peak
If the trees look dead in this picture that is because they mostly are. A fire burned everything on top of Grizzly Peak several years back. To tell you the truth, I find the hike on Grizzly to be much more interesting now after the fire. Not only is the dead wood beautiful but life is springing up like crazy at the base of the trees.
You can’t really see it in this photo, but I risked my camera’s life by taking this and a few other photos as we got caught it a hail and rain storm. I was soaked and so was my camera, but it is still working fine.
The bit of town you can see is probably Medford. I think I was pointed northwest when I took this photograph. This picture looks much better on a big screen, with your browser maximized, after clicking on the image.
Reflections near Lake of the Woods
For Father’s Day we rode bikes from Lake of the Woods to Fish Lake. The weather wasn’t great and the kids weren’t up for all 15+ miles so I rode back from Fish Lake to Lake of the Woods by myself to get the car. Near the car was this scene. This is actually across the rode (near Aspen Point) from Lake of the Woods. It isn’t a year-round lake at all I imagine–just a swamp of sorts that happened to look pretty good on this day.
