Hi ya'll,
So I thought I'd contribute a small trip report. Last weekend we went on a four day "wiking" trip along the Rogue River in Oregon. I really enjoy hiking/camping but this trip was appealing for the following reasons:
The very pleasant two hour flight to Grant's Pass looked like this:
Or my lovely wife's (& cobuilder) preferred view from the aircraft:
Lots of great views along the hike (the mostly shaded trail generally followed the river):
If your feet got tired, there was always the boat:
At night we'd drink nice wines at three lodges along the trail:
Highly recommended! If you want to go, I recommend you ask about attending one of Liz's wine treks. They also have rafting and fishing trips. Here's the firm we used - they seem to be quite respected:
Wild Rogue
If anyone has any questions or wants more pictures, I'm happy to add more details...
So I thought I'd contribute a small trip report. Last weekend we went on a four day "wiking" trip along the Rogue River in Oregon. I really enjoy hiking/camping but this trip was appealing for the following reasons:
- My wife is not a big fan of camping - this trip has us in lodges each night.
- The full hike is 40 miles, but you can bail out and take a raft if you want to skip a portion (good for my so-so knee).
- The boats carry all your stuff - you only need a day pack (water + camera etc...)
- The guide company will pick-up and drop-off at the Grants Pass airport (3S8) (so a perfect RV destination). Just get the plane tied down in time for an 8am pickup.
- A vintner goes along on the trip and hosts nice wine tasting every night.
- Nice swimming holes.
- Fly out of 3S8 at 5pm the last day. If weather is bad or you are tired, they can also drop-off at local hotels. Decent dining in town.
- Easy-cheezy!
