July is Oregon craft beer month and Whitewater Warehouse is making merry with a very special Rogue River whitewater rafting trip scheduled for July 18 – 20. Cost is $880 per adult and participants will raft and/or kayak Oregon’s protected Rogue River canyon during the day. Each evening will be set aside for craft beer tastings paired with complementary hors d’oeuvre’s followed by wonderful lodge dinners. Folks who decide to join this incredible trip will enjoy private cabins (and private, attached bathrooms with showers) because this is a lodge to lodge trip. The price of $880 (double occupancy) includes everything–from lunch the first day through lunch the last day, lodging, guides, gear, shuttle back over the mountain at the trip’s end, government fees and, of course, those yummy Oregon craft beer tastings each night.
One of the rising stars of Oregon’s craft beer industry has agreed to offer tastings of their innovative beverages. Ninkasi Brewing Co., a brewer out of Eugene, Oregon will be offering tastings of several of their brews each evening. Southern Oregon beer specialist, Ginger Johnson, of Women Enjoying Beer fame, will also be on hand to add commentary each night!

Whitewater kayaker tries to flip kayak in “Mary’s Pot Hole” on Oregon’s Rogue River. This fun drop/hole is a blast to go over–either in a kayak or inner tube. Watch how the kayaker paddles towards the hole and drops into it…and finally ends up in quieter water. This is known as a pool-and-drop river. In other words, you drop into a rapid and then ease out into calm water. Much of Oregon’s Rogue River is like this, making it incredibly fun to white water raft or kayak during the summer months.

Perhaps the greatest secret of the Rogue River canyon is its varied and abundant wildlife. You’ll get a change to see the majestic bald eagle, the curious river otter, the lumbering black bear, and the dainty whitetail deer while on your rafting, kayaking, and hiking trips with White Water Warehouse. Keep your eyes open because there is often a new pair of eyes staring back at you ’round each bend of the river! This video shows just a few of the unique animals of the Rogue River.

Photos captured folks doing their thing in various locations in southern Oregon. Makes you realize how long folks have been enjoying “stuff” in the great outdoors of Oregon….
