Fifteen VacaUoTi LghJ — The National Forests in Oregon 



cade Range to the headwaters of Rock Creek or Cherry Creek, and down one of 

 these creeks to the road which skirts PeUcan ]\Iarsh. 



There is a trail along the summit practically the entire distance on the Rogue 

 River-Umpqua River divide, from which beautiful \dstas and ^dews of distant 

 landscapes are obtained. Here there are numbers of good camp sites and fairly 

 good deer hunting. 



Another divide trail extends along the summit of the Siskiyou Mountains on 

 the divide between Applegate and Klamath Rivers. Trips of several days or 

 several weeks may be made in these high altitudes, according to the fancy of the 

 camper. 



Automobiles may be hired at Medford, Ashland, and Klamath Falls for trips 

 of any length. Special rates are made for long trips or large parties. Teams and 

 wagons and saddle horses can also be hired in these and other towns, but pack 

 outfits are sometimes hard to rent. Ranchers and stockmen are the likeliest 

 people from whom they may be procured, but such outfits are generally in use in 

 August and September and there are not many who own more than they use them- 

 selves. There are stage routes — automobile or wagon — which take passengers to 

 points within or near the Crater National Forest. A list of these follows, though 

 they may change schedules or even be discontinued without notice: 



Medford and Crater Lake via Prospect: Automobile stage; three times a week, except Sunday, 

 returning the next day, summer and fall.
