October 29 to January 2012

 

Oct. 29. Takelma Gorge on the upper Rogue River west, is one of the most beautiful hikes for fall colors in any hiker’s repertoire.  Hiking along the river, to the bridge over the Rogue can provide an easy hike of 4.6 miles with a shuttle or a longer hike if hikers want to do a nine mile hike.  Any distance is possible as the trail goes along the river for miles and beautiful miles.  For more information, call Jane Flewelling at 541-670-3070.

Nov. 12. Boulder Creek via the Bradley Trail.  This is a moderate out and back  trail of about 8 miles.  Members can decide just how far to hike; Pine Bench for a short hike, down the canyon to  Boulder creek itself  for a longer one.  The scenery is beautiful and worth the uphill climb.  For more information, call Rick or Jacky Sohn at 541-673-4222.

Nov. 26. Rogue River East, Graves Creek to Whiskey Cabin.  This is a moderate hike and can range from the 7 miles to the Whiskey Creek Cabin or as  much farther as hikers wish.  The river is amazing this time of year and the views from the cliffs above it are astounding.  For more information, call Jane Flewelling at 541- 679-3070.
