Grizzly Peak has knockout panoramic views of the valley floor surrounding Ashland, the Siskiyou Mountains, Pilot Rock, and Mount Shasta. The legend of Grizzly Peak’s name come from a bear named “Old Reelfoot,” the last known southern Oregon grizzly, who roamed the region for 50 years before being shot by a 17-year-old hunter in 1890. The nickname had to do with the animal, at some point, losing several toes in a leghold trap.
