REGISTRATION opens on 5/18 at 6 a.m.

Join SOU Research Archaeologist Chelsea Rose for an encore hike! Similar to the three-hour hike around the conserved Jacksonville Woodlands in 2022, Chelsea will share her expertise on the mining history of Jacksonville. The hike will include a visit to the Chinese Diggings Trail and Panorama Point. Chelsea Rose's research includes the Jacksonville Chinese Quarters, the homestead of frontier photographer Peter Britt, the native Hawaiian mining camp of Kanaka Flat, and the Historic Applegate Trail.

Southern Oregon Land Conservancy holds seven easements on land owned by the City of Jacksonville and part of the Jacksonville Woodlands and Trails system. Within the larger Woodlands, there are 18 miles of meandering trails for hiking and biking with views and historical landmarks.
