A view from the north side of the peak.
One of the antennas familiar to residents of the Rogue Valley.
Despite the haze, Mount McLaughlin is still visible from both sides of Roxy Ann Peak.
Mule's ear also thrive in this area.
Camus plants live up here.

Another view of the valley.
Yours truly looks like shit, as always.

It was a bit hazy today, but what a view of the valley!
Today my sister and I hiked up to the top of Roxy Ann Peak, which overlooks the Rogue River Valley. The hike is strenuous in places, but it is worthwhile. The view of the valley looks almost like seeing it from a landing plane.
From Wikipedia:
Roxy Ann Peak is a mountain in the western Cascade Range which may be of volcanic origin. It is located at the eastern edge of Medford, Oregon. The peak is approximately 30 million years old. It rises 3,573 feet (1,089 m) above sea level, and over 2,000 feet (610 m) above the surrounding Rogue Valley. It was named after Roxy Ann Bowen, an early settler of the mountain.
