Rafting the Rogue River
Rogue River (Oregon)
This past Monday we rafted down a portion of the Rogue River. We used to do this at least once a year, but I think it’s been about five years since the last time. Kids grew up and all of that stuff…

Rogue River Revisited
Rogue Wild & Scenic River

Today’s photo comes from July of 2015, which was also the last time I was in the USA in July (until this year). That year included a trip down the Wild & Scenic portion of the Rogue River, a wonderful July 4 celebration, and lots of Britt shows. There was also a bunch of smoke in the Rogue Valley that year.
This year there will be no trips down the Rogue, July 4 festivities, or Britt. Hopefully there won’t be any smoke as minor compensation.

My random, desktop image of the day comes from three summers ago.
Rogue River Gorge Viewpoint
On our way back from Crater Lake a couple weeks ago we stopped at the Rogue River Gorge Viewpoint where I took this photo. The parking lot is covered in snow this time of year so if you want to see the gorge you’ll want a good pair of shoes on so you can walk through a bit of snow to get to the paved trail. Park near Beckie’s Cafe.

Natural Bridge
Today’s photo comes from my snowshoeing adventure a couple weekend’s ago. Although I’ve turned out at Rogue River Gorge Viewpoint on Highway 62 more than a dozen times over the years, I had never been to Natural Bridge Viewpoint before. The two are very close to each other, but Natural Bridge is a bit off the highway.
During winter you can’t get to the viewpoint via a car. That fact made this trek interesting for me. I was able to park in the normal turnout on Highway 62 even though the road (Rd 300 on Google maps) is not plowed. There was room for maybe three cars, but mine was the only one there on this day. From there I walked on snowshoes a little over half a mile to this location.
The Rogue River was higher than normal so the natural bridge in today’s photo isn’t that visible, but in person the scene was pretty spectacular. Water goes underground, through a lava tube, before exiting back into the Rogue River 250 feet downstream.
