"Just wanted to drop you a quick note upon our return to civilization (or maybe it should really be referred to as uncivilization) to tell you what a fabulous three days we had on the river with Rachel and Alex. This easily ranks as one of the best vacations we've ever had. Alex and Rachel are the best! Please pass along our deepest thanks to them and of course many thanks to you as well for setting up such a memorable adventure to a truly special place. " - Mark

T

he Rogue River is an iconic American classic, one of the world's great summer wilderness trips, a founding member of the National Wild and Scenic River System, and a river with such a grand reputation that in some circles it is simply known as “the Canyon”. It flows through an area rich with pioneer history and lore - some of it surviving to this day in the form of remote, river accessed, wilderness lodges and abandoned historic homesteads. The canyon itself is a stunning wilderness playground that is home to a staggering amount of wildlife and abundant whitewater. Momentum is based a short drive away from the Rogue and we are honored to have one of the best summer rafting trips in our back yard.

The Rogue River begins in the Rogue-Umpqua Divide Wilderness and Crater Lake National Park. It flows south west through the Cascades and then briefly touches civilization near the town of Grants Pass. We begin our trip just downstream right before the river plunges into the rugged and remote Siskiyou Mountains.

A trip down the Rogue has been compared to being in a “Planet Earth” movie. There are narrow canyons of polished rock, cool grotto’s draped in ferns, heavily forested hillsides, big sandy beaches, some of the best swimming holes anywhere, cascading waterfalls, and hikes up tumbling side streams. It is common to see bald eagles, osprey, otter, and black bear.

There are over 80 rapids and the whitewater is fun and exciting yet safe. The rapids and the choice of craft make the Rogue almost unmatched in its ability to satisfy a wide range of tastes and skill levels. You have the choice of sitting in relaxing oar boats, participating in more exciting paddle boats, or navigating the whitewater in an inflatable kayak (this adds a big level of excitement to the rapids).

Most of our Rogue rafting trips are 3 day lodge trips where nights are spent in comfortable and rustic wilderness lodges. We also offer 4 and 5 day camp trips on select dates and for groups. Although we are extremely proud of our comfortable camping in back of beyond places, the lodge system on the Rogue is extremely unique. There are very few places in the world with a system of remote riverside lodges only accessible by boat. It allows for the amazing experience of true wilderness adventure capped off by comfortable and cozy evenings in a remote lodge steeped in pioneer history.

For all the grand descriptions and accolades heaped on the Rogue for many of the guides who grew up here it is simply home - a place to recharge, relax, and live simply.  In the end that might say the most about this place.
