Maple leaves in fall on the Upper Rogue River

Today’s photo was taken on October 17, 2021 so, assuming things are similar this year, now is a great time to go hike the Upper Rogue River Trail section of the Rogue River (park at Woodruff Bridge and head south) for fall colors.

Takelma Gorge

Today’s photo comes from yesterday’s hike along the Rogue River. This place is just an hour and 20 minutes from my home, but it took me 21 years to find it.

October is obviously the best time for this trail. Park at Woodruff Bridge and head south on the Upper Rogue River Trail.

My wife, of 29 years and counting, celebrates a rather significant birthday today. Today’s photo is from her “happy place”, about six years ago.

Five summers ago we rafted the Rogue River from Galice to Agness (and somewhere along the way today’s photo was taken). A year or two before that we did Grants Pass to Galice. This year we did Trail to Grants Pass, with plans to do the last section between Grants Pass and Galice canceled by the Almeda fire.
