Station & Course Logistics:
Download directions to Sagehen here… rs.org/ Don’t forget to contact the station a day or two before arriving for the first class to get the gate combination!
Drive slowly--exceeding the 15-mph speed limit on the narrow dirt access road behind the gates is a big no-no! When you reach the station buildings, park in tight and efficiently even if you are the first one there—we are very constrained on parking space. Do not block the road; a fire truck must be able to get by you. You can also park at Highway-89 and carpool, walk or ride your mountain bike the easy 1.5-miles of dirt road to the station.
Come prepared for both outdoor classroom work and walking around outside. It can be VERY cold at Sagehen in the mornings and evenings, and hot in the afternoons. Meadows can be wet; waterproof boots or river shoes are a good idea.
The 1-week program includes housing and all meals. 10-week students should bring a sack lunch for the Saturday field trips. Drinking water at the station is excellent—all students should bring a water bottle to refill.
For 10-week students wishing to spend the night at Sagehen prior to the Saturday morning field trips, there is free camping just beyond our back gate at the Sagehen Forest Service campground. The site has pit toilets and fire pits, no water.
10-week students who would prefer to overnight within the Sagehen Creek Field Station will be assessed the $20/night UC-rate user fee for either camping or for a bed in a cabin, if available. Bring your own linens and/or camping gear and check with us for cabin assignment or about appropriate campsites before settling in.
10-week students staying at Sagehen should plan on storing any food you bring in our kitchen facilities, not your car. Station users have access to a communal kitchen for food preparation, with standard cooking and dining equipment. Visitors are expected to leave all station facilities a bit cleaner than they found them. rs.org/kitchen_list.htm
Cell phones do not work at the field station. The station does have a public visitor phone with answering machine for local and incoming calls (530-582-5625), as well as wireless Internet. The station has public computers, TV room, bathhouse facilities with hot and cold running water, toilets and showers.
