Rogue River
On this trip down the Rogue River rafters will float through the beautiful Rogue Valley and past lands inhabited for millennia by native tribes. After a brief orientation at the put-in rafters have plenty of time to build the team skills in their raft as the group enjoys smaller whitewater before building into the biggest class IV rapids towards the end. About an hour in the group will arrive at Lineman rapids where each rafting team will try to surf their raft in the small waves. After some fun, “hanging ten” each boat will head towards Nugget Falls, the first class IV cascade of whitewater. This quick plunge ends with a BIG wave and lots of fun. After Nugget Falls the group will keep floating towards the longer and more complicated collection of drops at Ti’lomikh Falls. After this final class IV the takeout is just around the corner.

The last rapid is my favorite. Overall awesome experience. You will spend a good amount of time in the river to where it doesn’t feel like too much but it does satisfy most for outdoor activity for the day. There’s a few opportunities to go for a swim, and the guides are super friendly.

The trip was awesome and everyone had a lot of fun. We were properly trained on the safety measures while at the same time we had fun with additional things like riding the wave! Only feedback would be to have some indication about the tour. We came a bit early and were wandering around to locate the tour
