Hiking the Upper and Lower Table Rocks
"Once a sanctuary for Takelma Indians, today these cliff-edged mesas near Medford are a haven for hiker and endangered wildflowers. Views from the cliffs extend across the Rogue River to the Siskiyou's and the Cascades. Visit in spring to catch the best flower displays and to avoid summer's merciless heat. The Upper Table Rock Trail climbs through scrub oak grassland ablaze with spring wildflowers the trail to Lower Table Rock, though longer and rockier, climbs through shadier woods and leads to a viewpoint atop a taller cliff. Most of Lower Table Rock was dedicated as a nature preserve in 1979 by The Nature Conservancy, the public-spirited non-profit organization that built the trail. " - Excerpted from 100 Hikes in Southern Oregon by William L. Sullivan

Is there any way to fix that? Ashland Dog Park. “The Dog Park is a two acre fenced in area where dogs can run off leash and socialize with other dogs. Park hours are from dawn to dusk, seven days a week, throughout the year. Water and scoopers are available on site. The Dog Park is located just off West Nevada Street behind the Ashland Greenhouse and Nursery.” Directions: Directions: from downtown Ashland go North on Oak Street for several blocks until it intersects Nevada, then turn West on Nevada for about two blocks. After passing the Greenhouse, take the small road North about a block to the park. Another great dog-friendly park is the Oredosn-Todd Woods, more information about Oredson-Todd is under ''hidden waterfalls''.
