Applegate Trails Association is proud to announce a $10,000 grant award from REI to build the East ART, the first section of the non-motorized Applegate Ridge Trail envisioned from Cathedral Hills in Grants Pass to Jacksonville. We are so excited!
So the organization is thriving, not only with trail building but with hiking on existing trails. Come join us this summer! On July 12 we are leading a 3-mile loop hike at Red Lily Vineyards, featuring views of Wellington Butte and the 5700 acre Wellington Wildlands, (recently designated by the BLM as LWC—Lands with Wilderness Characteristics) walks along the Applegate River, an overlook across vineyards, and a stop by the shady banks of a pond. After the hike, lunch will be available for purchase from Peruvian Point or from Red Lily, who also have their delicious wines for sale.
This has been a popular ATA hike for several years. Please RSVP to the hike leader, David Calahan, david@applegatetrails.org or 541-899-1226, if you plan to attend. Meet at Red Lily at 9:00am, wear appropriate clothing, bring plenty of water, and leave your pets at home. ATA requests a $5 donation at sign-in.
