Hike the Rogue River Trail lodge to lodge

For over a century the Rogue River Canyon and its beautiful trail and adventurous white water have been drawing people searching for adventure, quiet or simply an escape from the high-paced industrial world. Nothing is more therapeutic and rejuvenating than time on the trail, time with friends and family, putting one foot in front of the other, earning with every step, your panoramas, your photos and, most importantly, your memories. Hiking the Rogue River Trail is all about relaxing and slowing down, with three nights in the wild and scenic canyon spent in luxurious wilderness lodges with soft beds, hot showers and family-style meals. There is nothing like strolling into the lodge, popping off your shoes and grabbing a cold beer or chilly Gatorade and then relaxing in the grass. On the trail, enjoy trekking with only the weight of your camera and water on your back; everything else rides on the raft, freeing you up to focus your energy on taking in the beauty of the canyon and creating memories with your friends.

Originally built in the early 1900s by miners and homesteaders, the Rogue River Trail was the sole way in and out of the canyon for these early explorers. In places, they literally carved the trail into the rock cliffs overlooking the beautiful river canyon, giving modern hikers unobstructed views of the river gorge. On your trek you will step in the same places they stepped and, due to the federal protection of the canyon, you will see the same scenery they saw 100 years ago, virtually unchanged.

What makes an Orange Torpedo trip unique is it allows everyone to enjoy the river canyon. With the raft carrying all of your gear, you can hike with only a five-pound pack and always hop on the raft for an afternoon if your feet need a break. See the canyon in style, only work as hard as you want to and have the vacation of a lifetime hiking on the Rogue River Trail in southern Oregon. Sign up today; trips are filling up fast.
