Oredsen-Todd Woods Trail is a short, easy hike in Siskiyou Mtn Park, on city land in Oregon. The trail is about 0.44 miles long, and the round trip adds up to roughly 0.88 miles with a total climb of about 323 feet. The route is an out-and-back, and the steepest stretch comes early on, around 0.26 miles in, with a grade of about 11 percent. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Ashland show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 81°F, while July and August average in the upper 80s. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. White Rabbit is just 0.2 miles away, and Talent Irrigation Path and Caterpillar are both within about a mile. For an overnight stay, Mt Ashland campground is about 6.5 miles off.
