Explore the Bluff (May 3)

  • Rite Aid 2341 Ashland St Ashland, OR 97520 (map)

REGISTRATION opens on April 3 at 6 a.m.

Tour the spectacular Pompadour Bluff just outside of Ashland on a hike guided by SOLC staff. Walk though beautiful oaks and grasslands to the top where the view is out-a-sight!

In 2021 we were honored to be gifted an iconic landmark of the southern Bear Creek Valley, The Harry & Marilyn Fisher Preserve at Pompadour Bluff. Harry Fisher bequeathed this 55-acre property to SOLC in his will. Read more about what makes this scenic place so special and how you can support its conservation.
