Hiking and climbing mountains inspired me into this life philosophy - LIFE IS A MOUNTAIN. Every step you make leads to summit. You may be forced to turn around or change routes for any cause, never know. But, stay focused and look forward. The mountain will be there always. Pace yourself and reach "your" summit, for every step counts. Enjoy the view and feed your soul as it comes along. Life is a journey, not a destination. Life is like climbing a mountain.....
Distance: 5 miles RT
Elevation Gain: 1150'
Summit: 7532'
Located in Southern Oregon just south of Ashland along Interstate 5 between OR/CA
border, Mt. Ashland is the tallest in the Siskiyou Mountain Range. It offers a
variety of recreational activities....skiing, hiking, backpacking, biking and
wildflowers in early summer. The hike also gives an option to explore PCT which
traverses nearby.
To summit, follow a gravel road for about 1 mile from the ski-area and keep to
the right hiking up the road for another 1.5 miles to the summit. There is a
white Doppler Radar at the top and the actual summit is the rocky peak right
behind.
Vistas seen from the summit are spectacular in all directions....Mt. McLoughlin
and Mt. Shasta as well as other peaks of the Cascade and Siskiyou Mountain
range.
