Distance: 5.5 miles round trip
Elevation Gain: 200 feet
Leader: Sami Godlove (Oregon Wild’s Central Oregon Field Associate)

The mighty Rogue Rogue and its tributaries originate in springs deep in Crater Lake National Park and flow through the ancient forests of the south Cascades before carving it’s way to the Pacific Ocean. Experience the beauty of the Upper Rogue River on this hike at Rogue Gorge and Union Creek, and learn about current efforts to protect the watersheds and wild lands of this area.

The goal of Oregon Wild’s outdoor program is to connect our supporters to the places we work to protect and conserve. Our guided hikes and outings are led by staff members with experience in our conservation campaigns, knowledge about the natural world, and a passion for Oregon’s wild places and wildlife. Our programs offer an educational experience and a connection to advocacy for the places we visit. We strive to make our outdoor programs inviting and safe for everyone.

Your hike leader will get you additional information with specifics about a meeting time and location, difficulty level, and any other details about your hike after you register.
