Ochoco Forest Campout

Spend a few days exploring the Ochoco National Forest. From our group camp we will take day hikes to some wonderful sights in this National Forest and have evening programs about the history and issues affecting the area. If you have not been here, there are geologic wonders, great trees, amazing wildflowers.

Experience the stillness of a ponderosa hillside, piney forest scents, Ochoco Creek’s gurgles, the shining infinity of a night-time sky, new friends.  Isn’t it time to recharge winter’s Nature deficit?

Friday evening we’ll have a short welcoming and orientation.  Saturday we’ll offer different levels of hikes, including at least one to the top of iconic Lookout Mountain.  That evening we’ll have a potluck group dinner in the Pavilion, a geology talk, and learn about forest conservation work.
