Trip #1, July 1-8:
Join us for the first of two backpacking trips to Mt. Eddy and nearby Russian Wilderness, known for its conifer diversity. We expect to see rare Drabas such as Howell’s draba and Mt. Eddy draba, both endemic to the Klamath Ranges. Endemic to the Klamath Ranges and 1B.2 CNPS listed, Mt. Eddy sky pilot (Polemonium eddyense) should be in good flower.
