Siskiyou Plant Explorers Field Trip to Baldy Peak
Trip Leader: Kathryn Connelly
Meeting Location: Star Ranger Station, 6941 Upper Applegate Road, Jacksonville, OR
The Baldy Peak trail in the Upper Applegate is a moderately easy three-mile roundtrip walk through alternating conifer forests, chaparral, meadows, and oak woodlands. We’ll observe the varying plant communities along the way and focus especially on the canyon live oak alliances. The trail ends at the junction with the Mule Mountain trail at the base of Baldy Peak, with expansive views of the Applegate and the Siskiyou Crest. You will have the option to scamper up Baldy, an additional 400 feet to the 4623 foot summit.
Please come prepared with plenty of food, water, and footwear suitable for any type of hiking conditions. There are public bathrooms at the trailhead. Please register in advance by contacting Matt at si************@gm***.com.
