What to Bring: This area is shrubby and cheatgrass is abundant this year; please wear hiking boots and long pants and leave pets at home. Water and a hat or sun screen are also recommended.
Physical Requirements: We will hike relatively short distances (less than 1/2 mile) off road on rocky, uneven terrain with some steeper pitches.Further Information: For information email info@KlamathBasinNPS.com
