None scheduled

Celebrate the New Year with Oregon State Parks! Join us on a ranger-led hike through the Rough and Ready Botanical Wayside. This 1 mile loop hike through the wayside provides an excellent place to observe the rare and unique plants and shrubs. This is a diverse area, not just in its flora, but in its topography so remember to look up once in awhile and see the mountains that eventually give way to the majestic Kalmiopsis Wilderness to the west.

Meet at: Rough and Ready Parking Lot. From Cave Junction, travel south on Highway 199 for 4.5 miles. Parking for the wayside is located on the right side of the highway.

Trail Name: Rough and Ready Botanical Trail

Trail Terrain: Easy

Length of Hike: 1 mile

Things to Note: Comfortable shoes or Hiking boots, water, and weather appropriate clothing are necessary. Hike details may change depending on weather/trail conditions.
