#mypubliclandsroadtrip 2016: Places That Rock, Table Rocks

            #mypubliclandsroadtrip heads to Upper and Lower Table Rocks – two of the most prominent topographic features in the Rogue River Valley.

These flat-topped buttes rise approximately 800 feet above the north bank of the Rogue River in southwestern Oregon. Upper and Lower refer to their positions relative to each other along the Rogue River. About 7 million years ago, a shield volcano erupted a lava flow that was approximately 44 miles long and spread out over the entire valley, from the Prospect area to Sams Valley. This mass of lava caused the valley floor to rise in elevation to the height of the top of Table Rocks.  

Cooperatively managed by the BLM and @natureconservancy, the Table Rocks area includes a spectacular spring wildflower display of over 75 species, including the dwarf wooly meadowfoam, which grows nowhere else on Earth but on the top of the Table Rocks. Vernal pool fairy shrimp, federally listed as threatened, inhabit the seasonally formed vernal pools found on the tops of both rocks.
