Lower Rogue River Trail

The Lower Rogue River hike has a rugged beauty all its own, and requires a few days to hike the entire trail, and a certain amount of knowledge about things you may run across while hiking, black bear, and rattle snakes are thick in here and knowledge about them could save you in a tight situation...honestly they would rather steer clear of you too...not to mention poison oak grows rampant along the trail...knowing what it looks like can save you from a miserable trip. The Rogue River valley sees a lot of activity during the spring and summer months...hiking, camping, fishing, and numerous people who like to kayak the Rogue's icy waters. It's the perfect place to do all those things, but it can also be fraught with peril if your not properly prepared, and outfitted with the right gear...good hiking boots, food, water, proper clothes, first aid kit, snake bite kit, fully charged cell phone, and last but not least...a healthy appreciation for the predators that live in this rugged river valley. So take the long weekend and the road less traveled head out for the rugged beauty of the Rogue River Valley.
