Hiking season is right around the corner in the Beaver State, and there are plenty of amazing hiking trails to that belong on your bucket list. Some of the best are the hikes to Upper and Lower Table Rock in Southern Oregon. Known as Oregon’s “Islands in the Sky,” the hike to the top of these landscape features will lead you on an unforgettable journey.

Located in Jackson County, Upper and Lower Table Rock were formed nearly seven million years ago, when a nearby volcano erupted and filled the ancient Rogue River Valley with lava.
