Its a smiling couple....no, its a smiling bear! The Rogue is full of wildlife and this shot proves it. Black bears, bald eagles, river otters, white-tailed deer, and osprey all hang out on the water's edge of the Rogue River. The lucky few that get to travel through this incredible canyon each year get a bird's eye view of the wildlife that hang out on the beaches and rocks that border the river.
The cool thing about the Rogue is that you can be gliding through a fun series of rapids, look over on the shoreline and see a couple beautiful deer grazing on sweet-grass. In the next river mile, you might note a momma black bear and her tiny cub looking for a salmon-snack. Look up a few minutes later and see a magnificent bald eagle circling, circling--studying the water for his river-meal.
Travel through the wild & scenic section of the Rogue and you, too, might get a great view of the Bear-necessities of Life!
