Cradled below Southern Oregon’s craggy Klamath-Siskiyou Mountains and the glaciated Cascade volcanoes, the Illinois River Valley’s unique geology and climate make it a hotbed for rare and unusual flora. With its main city Cave Junction located about 30 miles southwest of Grants Pass, it seems a world away. Colorful rocks and quirky plants there survive on scant resources in a starkly beautiful setting, making it the perfect spring road-trip destination for wildflower enthusiasts.
