Dates for our 2026 raft-supported hike on the Rogue River Trail are official!
Join us for this 5-day, 4-night excursion on the Rogue River Trail from May 15-May 19, 2026.
The Rogue was one of the first rivers in the nation to be recognized as a National Wild and Scenic River, and hiking the 40 mile Rogue River National Trail is a great way to enjoy this remarkable place. Making that experience even better will be not having to carry anything more than your daypack on your back! ARTA guides will ferry all of the camping gear and food by boat, allowing you to enjoy a steady pace (8 miles per day) and then enjoy riverside camping with fresh, hearty meals, thick, heavy sleeping pads and glorious, decadent chairs! Plus, they’ll gladly haul your beer and wine for you!
The canyon is rich in flora, fauna, and human history and hiking the Rogue River Trail is a wonderful way to experience it. KS Wild staff member, Haleigh, will help you get a better understanding of the area from the organization’s conservation work perspective. You’ll see spectacular wildflowers like shooting stars, scarlet fritillary, and seepspring monkeyflowers; you’ll watch soaring raptors like Osprey and Bald Eagle; and you’ll hear the silent stories of bygone miners and homesteaders. And you’ll get to learn about importance of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, modern forestry and mining practices, anadromous fish, and all of the other hidden connections in wild nature. Bring your camera, binoculars, sketch book, and best friend!
In this partnership, our friends at ARTA River Trips will be donating $100 per person to KS Wild’s critical conservation work of the Rogue River and its surrounding landscape.
