Trevor told us that the Rogue River trip is more mellow and the Upper Klamath more intense. Our family did the half-day morning Rogue ride, and though it was mellow there were two Class 4 rapids, which were fun and wet! Perfect for us.

WELL I came away having one of the best experiences of my life! Warden's (Kikakeci) Canyon is stunning and quite challenging. Steve & Logan are so highly skilled & experienced, I never felt in danger even in the toughest spots. They timed our paddling from perches so well round boulders, rapids and tree limbs. I remembered to stay grounded in my feet and legs...a lesson learned when my tuckass hit a rock so I almost went flying on a not nearly as well guided or equipped class 2 trip last year in Virginia. Noah's guides have the rafts outfitted so well staying grounded in our seats was more than feasible on our ride. Ollie was a skillful driver & wonderful host to us as well just not a river guide that day. Flora & fauna viewing en route & on the ride were superb. Not sure how any outfit could do this better. I was a nervous ninny beforehand and found myself in such capable hands that I emerged confident, in love with the Klamath & life inspired. Highly recommend! Thank you Noah's River Adventures!

Once in Medford, everyone was telling us to go to Jacksonville, Oregon to look at the historic building and all the fun things to do there. We redirected there, it was only about a 15 min drive to Jacksonville. The downtown area was very cute, we saw a farmers market type event setup at City Hall. We parked and walked over to check out all the things the different booths were selling. We saw lots of unique things there like woodcarvings, pictures & paintings and even some food and drinks. After a short time we continued driving through all the neighborhoods, enjoying the different types of old homes.

Included in the fee - but not in our rental time - was a very thorough training session. David did a great job of preparing us and we had a blast. Started out cruising the streets. We quickly felt comfortable, took the devices off "turtle" mode and decided to tackle the cemetery. It was a great way to quickly cruise the area, stopping as needed to read or take photos. We then wandered over to the Britt side of town and cruised the hills. What a blast!! Definitely would do it again.

What a hidden jewel! Howard Prairie is not located on Riverside Ave. in Medford. It is on "Hyatt…read morePrairie Road" which is just off Dead Indian Memorial Road out of Ashland. I drove over Sunday to visit but took Hwy. 140 to 37 through the "Rogue Wilderness" which was a little gnarly. Having never been before, I was STUNNED at the beauty of this large, pristine lake. Many people come to fish for trout and bass. Others come for boating, jet skiing and canoeing. Still others come to hike and bike in the mountains. Some just come to kick back & chill. This is a very well maintained campground/resort with all the amenities you could ask for. The store at the marina sells just about anything you may have forgotten, smokes, snacks, food (gotta have those smores around the campfire) and sundries. The restaurant is absolutely lovely and the food delicious and reasonably priced. I enjoyed a creamy pasta, mushroom & veggie dish that was perfectly done, melt in your mouth divinity. The marina blew my mind ... there were yachts and sail boats in addiiton to speed boars moored! There is a regatta each year and this place is so mellow that many, many people leave their boats, fifth wheels and/or camp trailers here for the "season". Yep, you can store your goods here during the week for just a couple bucks, head up Thursday or Friday after work and rent your campsite for the weekend. Week after week, month after month people do this until they close at the end of October. Just a little ways off the beaten path, I highly recommend Howard Prairie Lake & Resort for a nice get away.

The Rogue Valley is one of those places not many people know about and the locals like to keep it…read morethat way. A transplant town(s)for many Californians and home to generations of locals, this valley is full of back to nature, anti-establishment, mind your business and I will mind mine, type of folks. From Grants Pass, known for it's climate, home of my personal favorite, Dutch Bros Coffee and the iconic Hellgate Canyon down to Ashland's very own Shakespeare Festival, the historic Jacksonville's Britt Festival and pathway to Applegate lake and it's growing wine country, across the valley to Eagle Point and Shady Cove with some of the best cold water rafting you will find. This is truly a hidden treasure. It's not a booming metropolis in terms of monetary standards, but for someone in search of nature, fresh mountain air, clean rivers and lakes, Southern Oregon is a community based on quality over quantity and locally grown products and services. In terms of spiritual enrichment and life satisfaction, one could easily argue the value of life leans more toward these things than expensive chains and name brand clothing. The Rogue Valley has grown significantly since I lived there over a decade ago. The old pear orchards are now vineyards, the industrial areas are now shops and breweries. There are actually a couple of bars open later than 9pm. With growth has come growing pains and Southern Oregon is no stranger to the issues that come with a growing population. The valley has always had a challenge with jobs and offered little opportunity for average middle class families to find sustainable work. Unless you own your own business, are independently wealthy or have decided to retire from another state (California), there's not much in the way of work. Hopefully, as the valley continues to grow, so will the job opportunities for the locals. So yes, there's more to Oregon than Portland and Nike, but the general ideals are the same. Live free. Live clean. Live happy. I'm proud to be a granola girl from Oregon!

I have been going to Ashland for years but this was my 1st time taking a wine tasting tour there. I…read morefound this company online and I am sooo happy I booked w them. This is a husband/wife company. I booked w Janie but Terry was the driver/ tour guide extraordinaire!! Since I didnt know the area and I was going to be drinking wine I knew I would not be driving. This company will pick you up from your hotel or desired location and drop you off and the end if the day. There is another wine tour co in the area that is a "hop on/hop off" type tour but w/RVWT you can stay as long or as little as you want. Terry who grew up in this part of Oregon is the nicest, friendliest person and took my sister and me to some incredible places and made sure that we went to at least one winery that served food. We took the Bear Creek tour on a Thurs and enjoyed it so much we booked the Applegate Valley tour for the following Sunday! It was such a great value for a very private and personalized tour.We hope to take another tour w RVWT in March. If you're thinking of going wine tasting you should really check them out! Thank you Terry for an amazing time!

I've done many escape rooms in my day. We found this one while visiting Medford and decided to try…read morethe Saloon room. They were able to accommodate us on very short notice which was appreciated! The decor was excellent and the room was fun (no spoilers!). This was the first escape room I've done where the employee role-played in the room (as the bartender) rather than watching from outside. It made things feel more immersive, even if it did feel like a clever, low tech workaround at time (I'm pretty sure he had to manually trigger some things when certain conditions were met). We had a blast! I would definitely try their other room the next time we are in the Ashland area.
