Maple leaves in fall on the Upper Rogue River

Today’s photo was taken on October 17, 2021 so, assuming things are similar this year, now is a great time to go hike the Upper Rogue River Trail section of the Rogue River (park at Woodruff Bridge and head south) for fall colors.

Mt. Shasta (California) from Grizzly Peak (Oregon) – July 6, 2022

Last week we did the Grizzly Peak hike for probably about the 30th time. Thanks to lots of late spring rain (and some rain in the past few weeks during summer too), I’ve never seen it so green up there (and with so many wildflowers).

Upper Table Rock (Oregon – January 2022)

I have hiked the table rocks mostly in summer and fall. I’ve seen water on them before but never as much as I did early last month (after a wet December). Alas, until yesterday it hadn’t rained at all in over five weeks, very unusual for this time of year.
