This is a truly magical remote area.  We'll camp at a little lake and hike into some majestic waterfalls.  

We'll savor the quiet amongst the alders, Port Orford Cedar, yew, Doug fir, and ash.  

We'll explore Oregon grape, St John's wort, thimbleberry, huckleberry, California bay and much more.  

We'll make herbal products.
