Field Trip: Rimrock Springs

Tuesday, May 21, 9:45 am – 3:00 pm

Hike Leader: Karlene Richmond
Location:  Rimrock Springs Trailhead, U.S. Highway 26 between Madras and Prineville

Rimrock Springs trail crosses through a high desert juniper and sagebrush environment which then leads to a wetland oasis, doubling the wildflower possibilities. We might see bitterroot in bloom as well as Calochortus lily, rough eyelash-weed, bee plant, fleabane, lupine, delphinium, penstemon, phlox, and buckwheat. The list goes on! The approx. two-mile easy trail is fairly flat, and half of it is paved. Parking is available at the trailhead.
