Rogue River Hiking in Oregon - Overview
This uniquely active 6 day Oregon hiking adventure from O.A.R.S. includes all the beauty, wildlife and comforts of our rafting trips on the "Wild and Scenic" Rogue River but without all that splashing!
Escorted by your expert hiking guides, our guests carry only enough water to drink and a delicious packed lunch on your Oregon hiking adventure as you journey from one riverside camp to the next on the 39-mile Rogue River Trail in southwestern Oregon. Arriving in camp each afternoon, you'll be greeted with appetizers, a dinner spread on the beaches of the Rogue (that frankly puts traditional backpacker fare to shame) and an eclectic selection of Oregon wines. After your day of energetic Oregon hiking, you'll camp riverside and bed down in warm sleeping bags, atop thick, cozy, ground pads inside (or outside) your roomy tent under a starry night sky and sleep soundly, serenaded by the crickets and the rush of the passing flows of the mellow Rogue River.

Although the Rogue River Trail is only moderately strenuous overall, it is at times steep, rocky and narrow with exposed sections and therefore is not recommended for people who have a fear of heights or children under the age of 12 years.
