Rogue Canyon Adventures trips are created with fun, curious, and nature-loving adventurers in mind. Our Rogue River Hiking is ideal for those with a zest for the outdoors, moderate adventures, and self-determined activity levels. While you should be fit and in good health for this trip, you need not be a honed athlete. The hiking on this trip is moderate with the possibility of more challenging sections of trail, depending on conditions.
Weather
The Rogue is a coastal river with mild weather almost year-round. Temperatures from late May through June, and then in September, are usually in the high 70’s to high 80’s during the day and 50’s to 60’s at night. July and August days often reach into the 90’s and nights are in the 50’s and 60’s. Of course, rain can occur any time and weather in the canyon can be unpredictable. Always bring rain gear. On the camping trips we always have tarps and shelters in the event of rain.
Equipment
Rogue Canyon Adventures provides camp chairs and eating utensils plus sleeping pads, sleeping bags and tents for the camping trips. You will need to provide your own day pack and personal gear. A complete list of what you should bring will be included in your confirmation packet. If you should chose to spend time on the raft, wet suits and lifejackets will be available.
Camps & Lodges
We camp along the river in pristine wilderness, usually on expansive sandy beaches or isolated forest glades. All personal and camping gear is carried down river with us on oar-powered gear boats. We proudly practice minimum-impact camping and carry out all trash. The lodges are a unique experience in rustic, wilderness comfort. The rooms are typically double occupancy and meals are served family style. Relax with a drink and watch the river and local wildlife meander by!

Terry O'Connors
Terry O'Connors is a legend. He has led trips on the Rogue River since
1968. As the longest standing full time guide on the river, we are
blessed to have him as our trip leader. We are absolutely confident
you will feel the same after spending a few days in his company.
Simply, no one knows the Rogue River history, geography, culture,
wildlife, and rapids better than Terry. But, get this: to this day,
every trip he runs he does so with the same youthful enthusiasm, eye
on safety, and dedication to your enjoyment as he first did over 40
years ago.
My four-day fishing trip down the Rogue River was absolutely fantastic! The Rogue wilderness was spectacular – truly one of the most beautiful places in the country. The guides, Terry, Greg and John were great in every way – fantastic food, knowledgeable about the river’s history, and guiding us safely through the rapids. My friend and I go on at least two drift boat trips each year and nothing has ever compared to this trip. Thanks for a great four days on the river!

We're just back from your three-day lodge trip on the Rogue. It was a BLAST! We had so much fun and look forward to next year -- we're for sure coming back. Our guides Leo, Palmer and Laura, were definitely one of the highlights. They're the BEST.
