Plan for mountain roads and seasonal closures

Fees, hours, and seasonal access

Check snow and road conditions

Hobart Bluff starts above 5,000 feet, where snow, ice and mud can affect the trail and its gravel approach. BLM has identified hazard trees along some roads and around Hyatt Lake Campground. Check the BLM hazard tree project information and current road access before leaving Ashland.

Use open roads and respect closures

Use motor vehicles and bicycles only on roads open to that use. Posted road closures apply inside the monument. Oregon requires an ATV operating permit for off-highway vehicles used on public lands. If you are unsure whether your road is open, call the BLM district office.

Book a Hyatt Lake campsite

Reserve a site in the main Hyatt Lake Campground in advance through Recreation.gov. The BLM Hyatt Lake page separates the main campground, Wildcat and the equestrian campground so you can choose the right site.

Turn off Highway 66 for your destination

From I-5 at Ashland, use Exit 14 for Highway 66. For Hyatt Lake, turn north onto East Hyatt Lake Road at Green Springs Inn and follow it about three miles. The Hobart Bluff route starts at the trailhead on gravel Soda Mountain Road. Check the road before you turn off the highway.

Nearby parks

• Emigrant Lake County Park. Stop near Ashland for a picnic by the reservoir.
• Lithia Park. Use Winburn Way in Ashland for a separate city park stop.

Walk the Pacific Crest Trail to Hobart Bluff

Walk roughly three-quarters of a mile north on the Pacific Crest Trail from Soda Mountain Road. Turn left at the signed Hobart Bluff junction for a moderate climb of about half a mile. On a clear day you may see Mount Shasta. Technical rock climbing in the monument is restricted to Pilot Rock and subject to seasonal closures.

Visitor information and campground facilities

The BLM contact station next to Green Springs Inn is open year-round and staffed on summer weekends. Some developed recreation sites have accessible parking, restrooms and shelters. Confirm the features at the site you plan to use before you travel.

Where three mountain ranges meet

A monument established for its ecology

The monument was established in 2000 where the Cascade, Klamath and Siskiyou ranges meet. The 2017 expansion added BLM lands in Oregon and California.

Forest animals and birds of prey

The monument is home to deer, bears, mountain lions and a range of songbirds. Eagles and other raptors use the area. Seasonal closures at Pilot Rock protect nesting peregrine falcons.
