We sure do hike often on the Rogue River Trail, don't we? That's a rhetorical question but the true answer is "Yes, we do!" But, can you blame us? After hiking one of Oregon's best trails, replete with epic canyon views, wildflowers, and forests with that odd little Siskiyou mix of myrtle, pine, cedar, fir, madrone, and oak trees, who wouldn't want to come back for another reprise of this spectacular hike?
