A Mighty Powerful River – The Rogue Gorge

Postby stillrobertpaulsen » Thu Jan 05, 2017 2:49 pm

On our way back from Crater Lake driving down Highway 62, we stopped to see another natural wonder of amazing beauty. This was a 500 foot long chasm called the Rogue Gorge. We saw signs for it driving down, then pulled into the parking lot to check it out.

There is a 3.5 mile Rogue Gorge Trail that leads hikers to a view of the Rogue River, but we were plenty impressed by the short trail we took around the Gorge that was more accessible. You can feel the incredible power of the rushing water and hear it churning through the rocks.

According to one of the signs, enough water flows down the Gorge to fill an Olympic swimming pool every minute! There were many other signs providing helpful information, but what was most spectacular was just watching the water crashing on through.
