Upper Rogue Valley - Upper High Meadow - PG&E Loop

You start out at a very mild incline on the Permanente Creek Trail, pass Deer Hollow Farm and continue along the Chemise to Rogue Valley Connector, which is great for warming up. When the High Rogue Valley Trail turns southwest, you begin to climb. The climb gets steep after four miles, while you are on the sunny High Meadow Trail. At the 1600' summit, you think it'll all be downhill. But no, there will still be some climbing. Stay on the PG&E Trail and descend past the first parking lot down to the second. A couple of loops in the parking lot are great for cooling off, and making sure your GPS logged ten miles.

Stop by Deer Hollow Farm to see a working farm with animals like cows, pigs, goats, sheep, and chickens. There is also an organic farms and old farm buildings.
