Ashland, Oregon (November 20, 2025)

Just over a week ago, the skies were looking good, and the fall colors weren’t completely gone, so I headed over the freeway for this view of Ashland, hoping to see the fresh snow on Mt. Ashland as well. Unfortunately, Mt. Ashland was obscured by clouds, but the rest looked pretty good for this late in autumn.

If April showers bring May flowers, what do April snows bring?

We went for a hike on Wagner Butte on Saturday, expecting rain but receiving snow. Snow, instead of rain, was far more comfortable on this 10-mile hiking adventure.

I’ve done this trail before in sunny weather. Directions can be found here. Note that the bullet-ridden sign (top image in link) is no longer there so don’t be looking for it.
