Daffodil days are done
Daffodils on Ridge Road
The cherry and plum blossoms have been falling the past few days after peaking a week or so ago. Daffodils are also fading, but they looked pretty good a couple weeks ago when I took this.

Stout Grove in the California Redwoods
On our way back from three nights in Gold Beach on the Oregon coast this past weekend, we stopped off in Stout Grove for the first time in over eight years. We went there probably 10 times during our first 12 years in Ashland but haven’t had the chance recently.

Toothpick Trail (Ashland Watershed)
Three Sisters from Whychus Overlook
The third-, fourth-, and fifth-highest peaks in Oregon
We’ve spent the past several days in Bend. On Saturday we did about a 6-mile or so hike that included this view. The view actually was better later at a place called Peak View. We were the only people on the last couple miles of this loop trail.
Directions: Start at the Whychus Creek Trailhead parking area. The trail along the creek is lovely. Most people do it as an out and back. Hence, that trail can be rather crowded. Turn it into a loop, instead, by going to Whychus Creek Overlook (pictured above), then cross the highway at the Whychus Creek Overlook Parking area. From there take a mountain bike trail from point 34 to 29 on the map you’ll see at 34. 29 is Peak View. At 29 you can get off the mountain bike trail and onto a steep, but beautiful, trail down to the Whychus Creek Trailhead parking area. There are warnings about the steepness and difficultness of that section, but unless it’s icy you’ll be fine walking it. You wouldn’t want to be on a bike though.

View from Toothpick Trail (Ashland, Oregon – March 16, 2021)
I think, before two days ago, that I had only walked Toothpick once (maybe 15 or 18 years ago). I’ve ridden it at least a hundred times. Anyway, a couple days ago most of the trail was covered in an inch or two of icy snow so riding wouldn’t have been a very smart option.
