Field Trip: King Mountain ACEC
East of Wolf Creek along the I-5 corridor
King Mountain Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) never disappoints photographers, hikers, or plant enthusiasts due to the variety of plant species. It is at an elevation of 5,033 feet, roughly 8.5 air-miles east of Wolf Creek. This rocky subalpine mountain top offers expansive views of the Klamath Mountains in every direction. It is habitat for the rare endemic Siskiyou fritillary (Fritillaria glauca) as well as a multitude of “serpentine” tolerant species. Look for the rarely seen Hall’s violet. A trail with a slight uphill climb leads to the botanical garden. Dress for (often cold) weather. No facilities are nearby. This field trip is a real favorite of our regular participants.
