The Nature Conservancy and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) are offering their annual series of educational walks on the Table Rocks this spring.

In its 20th year, this popular hike series promises a spectacular view of the valley, a natural wildflower display, and expert interpretation by natural and cultural historians  who will guide visitors in exploring these majestic landmarks.

Hikes are free, but reservations are required. To participate, please call the BLM's Medford office at (541) 618-2200. Groups are limited to 30 individuals per hike. Additional important information includes:

  • Hikers should dress for the weather and bring lunch and something to drink. (Drinking water is not provided.)
  • A restroom is available at the trailhead.
  • To help protect this special place and its inhabitants, dogs are not allowed on the trail. 
  • Hikes range from three to five miles roundtrip along a moderate grade trail, and last three to five hours.

Dates and Topics are:

Saturday, May 17th, 10:00 a.m.
