[pct-l] Rogue River Trip

[Geoff]

My friend and I will be hiking that trail in mid to late September. If you don't need to know before then, I'll let you know how it went once we are done ;)

I have a coworker who has told me that the area is beautiful.

Great trip to do. It is not very strenuous and will kindle your 
enthusiasm. There are photos and  info from my May, 2007 trip at 
www.bailyweb.com. Look under Oregon. My trip was over the designated 
wild area where the commercial raft trips operate. I loved it despite 
the rain I ran into. I will be happy to answer any specific 
questions. The spring is the prettiest because everything is green 
and wildflowers are blooming. One of the lodge owners told me that it 
is very hot in July and August. Memorial Day through Labor Day has 
tons of rafting trips, I am told. I was told that the lodges are all 
full during that time. I don't know about camp site availability 
then. Apparently there are many fisherman in the fall. The lodges 
open during the first few days of May; I don't know when they close 
for the winter. If you are interested in the lodges, I can give you 
names and web sites. There are also many campsites.
There is also trail further up river, but I don't know much about that area.
I hope my photos raise your interest. Send specific questions off 
line and I will be happy to answer them as best I can. I do also have 
some bookmarks that you might find of interest.
