from "Finding Oregon's Best" presenting Gallery 42...
       If you were to follow the wild and scenic Rogue River (formed by collapsed Lava Tubes rather than erosion)  from it's origin near Crater Lake to its last land point at Gold Beach, you would enjoy the booming sound at the Rogue River Gorge,  the eerie fog of the Peyton Bridge over Lost Creek Lake , the sight of  Kayaks heading downstream over white water, or the sense of isolation on the winding roads of the Rogue River Wilderness from Agness to Galice.  Perhaps a digression up the dramatic ascent to the entry of the Oregon Caves would be a must. But to see the Rogue's influence, you must  examine the cultural and economic hub its tributaries spawned...the Rogue River Valley...Grants Pass, Medford and Ashland.
     A friendly climate is formed as the Cascades, Siskiyous  and Coast Range wrap around this area...making it great for farming, timber, and tourists who step across the California border to enjoy Mt. Ashland's Snow or Emigrant Lake's Reservoir for year round fishing and boating.  NEXT PAGE takes you for a walk through the Rogue River Valley's Vineyards and Wineries, a  product of an exceptional climate.
     The entire area is dappled with Madrona Trees and Mistletoe as well as an individualistic spirit characterized by groups like the Caveman Club...boosters for the towns in this region.  Well preserved covered bridges are found in close by towns of Eagle Point and Applegate.  The people are proud of the pace of their valley...modern and cutting edge...but with a touch of the past.
