Nine hikers enjoyed hiking 6-6.5 miles in the Illinois Valley May 20th. Thanks to Susan Watson scouting the area, we hiked the Jeffery Pine Loop which connected to the Little Falls Trail that descended to the Illinois River. Afterwards, we did the boardwalk interpretive trail which featured the Darlingtonia (pitcher plant) as well as mountain laurel. We had a scrumptious lunch at Taprock in Grants Pass before returning home.
