We’ll start out the day hiking the renowned Rogue River Trail below Grave Creek Bridge along the north side of the picturesque and adventure-filled Rogue River.
As north and south facing canyon slopes offer two contrasting habitat types, in the afternoon we will hike to Rainie Falls on the south side of the river (a favorite spot to watch salmon jump in the fall).
A plant list of 322 species found along the Rogue River, with common and scientific names will be provide to participants.
