A steady stream of interested hikers have been calling our offices since the start of 2008. Must be all those New Year's fitness resolutions. Cool thing about hiking the Rogue is that it pairs a fabulous fitness experience with rustic lodges that offer private accommodations, hot showers, and soft beds to trail travelers.
Along the trail you will see historic sites, myriad wildlife, and beautiful wild azaleas, meadows of wildflowers, and moss-covered trees. Spring time is the time to book your hike because while the weather is generally warm, it is not over-the-top hot.
The San Francisco Chronical published an article on this unique hiking trail in mid-March of 2007. Whitewater Warehouse was honored to be listed as one of just two featured Rogue River trail hiking outfitters in the article. The outpouring of interest from that one newspaper article has been incredible.
On a website called trailsNW, one blogger says "Ahh the Rogue, one of the 'must do' hikes in Oregon." The same site lists scenery along the trail as a 4.8 out of 5 stars and difficulty as a 2.8 out of 5.
Factoids: Trail is 42 miles long and takes approximately 4 days and 3 nights to hike its full length. Minimum elevation is 200 ft, maximum is 1100 ft. Whitewater Warehouse offers 4-day, 3-night lodge-to-lodge hiking trips on the following dates: May 31 - June 3; June 8 - 11; June 14 - 17 and June 15 - 18.
