I’ve gone down the Wild and Scenic Rogue River six times, and this trip with Indigo Creek Outfitters was by far the best. They’re a small, local outfitter, which means that the owners are hands-on. Will and his wife July hire and supervise all the staff and know exactly what’s going on. They get the satellite-phone calls if there’s a problem, and Will is out on the river rowing a raft as often as he can be.
The result is fantastic. I did a four-day trip on the Rogue, and I was able to arrange for a combination of rafting and hiking (with the raft carrying all of my gear). We camped, and they provide tent, mattress pads, sleeping bags, dishes … and food. I was fortunate to be on a trip with Will - a super-nice guy who was extremely flexible and accommodating. He’s a second-generation river-trip leader, very experienced. The beauty of the river and the trail is indescribable. And - though I don’t go camping for the sake of the food - the food was of the quality I’ve eaten in high-end restaurants.
This is the outfitter to pick!
