Rogue Rapids




We took the "senior's" version of a white water raft trip on the wild and scenic Rogue River in Southern Oregon. Translation: Our guide did all the work! The movie The River Wild with Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon was filmed in nearby Hellsgate Canyon and on other parts of the river where our trip took us. It was a beautiful day, about as good as it gets in Oregon--sunny, 80 degrees, calm. We saw some wildlife (deer, osprey, turtles), but mostly just enjoyed a serene (albeit wet!) outing on a gorgeous, untouched river.
