By Karl Janouch.
The Ashland Mountain Loop
drive, one of the most scenic
and enjoyable tours in the beau
tiful southern Oregon play
ground, provides 83 miles of
. ever-changing scenery sweep
Ing vistas of mountain peaks
and mighty forests, and a glor
ious view of lofty Mt. Shasta
in California!
To begin this delightfudl trip-of-the-week,
head the family
car south on the smooth Pa
cific highway to Ashland. After
driving exactly 11.9 miles you
will arrive at the Plaza square
in the very heart of the Ash
land business district. Then
comes the pleasurable journey
through Lithia park a trip
that should be slowly made so
that all of the park's attrac
tions may be thoroughly en
joyed. Note the fountain, sur
rounded by roses, and the flow
ers in the botanical garden.
Provision is made for the en
tertainment of all ages of pea
pie, for there are a fine tennis
court, croquet court, horseshoe
pit, and a playground for chil
dren, where they may gather
for all sorts of supervised en
joyment. A miniature lake.
surrounded by trees and lawn
provides a natural home for a
pair of swans and a number
of ducks.
Just beyond is a zoo contain
ing deer, pheasants, peacock
and other rare wildlife, which
is always interesting. Much
more could be said about Lithia
park and its unique landscap
Ing features, its wild flowers
and animals, and especially high
order of maintenance," which
makes it a most pleasant area
for rest and recreation for the
people of southern Oregon.
Continuing , straight on to
Mt. Ashland over a good dirt
road, the boundary of the Rogue
River national forest is reached
when the speedometer reads
13.9 miles. Beyond that point,
1.7 miles to be exact, the Ash
land watershed may be seen
and, after climbing a little far
ther, a beautiful artificial lake
may be glimpsed in the canyon
below Ashland's main reser
voir. Traveling on through an ave
nue bordered by servlceberry,
laurel and Oregon grape, huckle
berry and other shrubbery. As
you climb to a higher eleva
tion, take notice of the several
stages of development in the
vegetation you have passed
While the same plants have
matured and gone in the lower
elevations, you find them in
the flowering stage, the bud
ding stage, and even the germ
inating stage as you get higher.
Then you travel through a
dense forest of large Ponderosa
pine and fir trees, with an un
dergrowtn of dense reproduc
tion, giving a varied and com
parative survey of green color
Traveling farther, you reach
the Klamath river drainage,
where you can look south to
the state of California. Pause
here to view nature's beautiful
diorama with such well known
features as Pilot Rock, Black
Butte mountain and majestic
Mount Shasta with its silver
snow-covered slopes. Continu
ing your trip and immediately
on your right you look into
the state of Oregon and see
the view of Ashland from a
much higher elevation.
When you have traveled 26 ?
miles, take the right-hand road
to the Lookout on Mount Ash
lana. This road is narrow
but safe, and it is but 1.3
miles from the Aiain road to
the Lookout Station.
Leave your car In the park
ing space provided and walk
the short distance up to the
Lookout for a better survey
At the top you find yourselves
in a fields of granite boulders.
The Forest Lookout stationed
here is ready to answer all
questions, indicate t h e out
standing peaks and points of
Interest, and show the methods
used in the detection of forest
fires. As you survey the ex
panse of this beautiful forest
and agricultural country be
low, you are impressed and
stirred to realize the need of
an organized fire protection
system to protect and preserve

this scenic wonderland for pos
terity. It is difficult to present a
word picture of the many dif
ferent features noted from this
height. You are now 7,595 feet
above sea level and with the
exception of Mount McLougn
lin and Mount Shasta, are on
the highest peak in a radius
of 100 miles. From this point,
you get a complete panoramic
picture of the Medford Rogue
Wonderland. Glancing toward
Mountain Shasta, you can see
the city of Hilt, which appears
as though it were directly at
the base of the mountain.
Following the skyline to the
left, you see Mount MrLough
lin, the rim of Crater lake with
Mount Scott and Watchman
standing out very prominently,
and to the west of the crater,
looking through a gap, you can
see the walls of the crater's
bowl. Next is Union Peak and
then Mount Thielson and Mount
Bailey. Between these two
points lies Diamond lake. Far
ther on to the left is Broken
Top mountain west of Bend,
Ore., and Mount Hcrshberger.
Following the Umpqua Rogue
river divide on around to the
left you see the rugged sky
line in the background.
Casting your eyes downward
at this point, the two Table
Rock mountains are easily lo
cated. An airplane view of
the mosaic pattern of the Rogue
river valley is displayed in its
splendor. Looking towards Roxy
Ann you see the dotted farms
and orchards on the gentle
slopes in the background, and
the cities of Medford and Ash
land appear as miniature toys.
Going back to the skyline, you
will note a display of rueeed
snow-covered ridges and peaks
in the Applcgate district, and
there to the left is Grayback
mountain, the sentinel of Ore
gon Caves. Far beyond is the
Coastal range which hides the
Pacific ocean from youi view.
As you look around over the
country, it seems that your per
spective is warocd, as the top
of Mount McLoughlln looks
flat and appears quite close.
The Greensprings highway looks
as though it were south of tin
city of Ashland and seems to
head towards Mount McLough
lin, which also apooars to U
south of Ashland. ' Mt. Shasf.

Rogue Wonderland is spread
out before you in all its glory.
What a beautiful country! Is
it any wonder that the pride in
this Wonderland is so strong
among those who know and
love it?
About three miles farther Is
the entrance to the Wrangle
Gap Forest Camp. This camp
has been improved to provide
facilities for several one car
parties and also for large groups
desiring to picnic in the woods
It is especially inviting in the
summer time, since the temper
ature in the shade is generally
20 degrees below that in the
valley. For picnic parties a
large community kitchen with
two stoves and running watei
is provided.
When the speedometer reads
39.4 miles, turn to the right
and 2.5 miles farther you come
to the junction of the Dono-more-Dutchman
Peak road and
the Mount Ashland Loop drive.
The Donomore road extends to
the Klamath river. From this
road, the Cinnabar Springs can
be reached, and it also offers
another loop drive with ex
cellent scenery; returning to
the Pacific highway at the
bridge crossing Klamath river
near Yreka. To vpiir left is
Observation Peak. People climb
ing this peak get an excellent
view of mountain scenery in
all directions. However, a bet
ter view can be secured by
driving to Dutchman Peak.
You can take the road imme
diately to the. right and pro

On your return to Medford,
nothing will be more pleasant
than to stop at either the Beh

traveler. Swimming pools,
ramp stoves, tables, community
kitchens for picnic parties, an!
other facilities, are provided.
They offer all the facilities
needed for an excellent rest
and refreshment, as a conclu

should take your bathing suits
with you when you start this
trip and after enjoying the
scenery, stop at either of these
forest camps and have a refresh

swimming pools, after which

Jacksonville to Medford with a
feeling of pride and satisfaction
in this Rogue Wonderland, with
a firm determination to take
your friends on this 83-mile
trip.

their Mexican wedding.
The Viennese beauty, whose

The couple married March 4,
