FALL IN THE SISKIYOU MOUNTAINS OF NORTHWESTERN
FALL IN THE SISKIYOU MOUNTAINS OF NORTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA October 9–12, 2015 A special trip to benefit the Regional Parks Botanic Garden offered by the Friends of the Regional Parks Botanic Garden The Siskiyou Mountains are a meeting place and melting pot of botanical diversity, where plants from the Sierra, Cascade Mountains, and North Coast Ranges converge in an explosion of fascinating forms. Although the main period of bloom is over, cold nights paint the leaves of aspens, cottonwoods, maples, huckleberries, roses, and azaleas in vivid hues. This is a rare opportunity to visit this special place at the end of the growing season and learn to recognize the numerous trees and shrubs. We’ll explore the famed Cook and Green Pass, home to some of California’s greatest diversity next to the Oregon border; visit the base of Mt. Eddy, home to alpines and meadow plants; and make the easy walk to Cedar Lake, where insectivorous plants and the rare Port Orford cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) live.
