Oregon's Rogue River country is known for its spectacular scenery and fascinating biology. Here, in this southwestern corner of the state, a mild climate, heavily dissected topography and unusual geology conspire to produce one of the most diverse ecosystems in Oregon. The Rogue River is born near Crater Lake in the Cascade Mountains and flows southwest to meet the Pacific Ocean near the town of Gold Beach. We will float the most spectacular 38 miles of the river where it cuts through the rugged coastal mountains west of Grants Pass. The Rogue River Canyon is an enchanting blend of lush forests, fern grottos, beautiful sandy beaches and lovely side streams.
Late spring is a good time to see wildlife and a variety of wildflowers.
We will be on the river approximately 4 hours per day, leaving plenty of time for hiking, botanizing, birding and relaxing. Overnight lodging at Morrison's Lodge a beautiful setting on the Rogue River on the evening prior to launch. Three additional nights accommodations in cozy and comfortable river lodges. All meals from Sunday dinner through Thursday lunch. Four days on the river in top quality rafts rowed by professional guides.
