PEOPLE & PLACE
This trip combines not only our favorite activities – hiking, rafting, yoga, and enjoying delicious food and wine – it also takes place in one of our favorite places in the country. Located in the backyard of MedTreks headquarters, Ashland Oregon – this trip is a world-class rafting destination, and we get to show you it through the eyes of a local!
The relaxed pace of this 4-day camp trip allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the river experience. This is a 50 mile continuous stretch of river, meaning each day we wake up and raft a new section of river and arrive at a new camp. There is no road access, no cars, no service – it is truly a Wild & Scenic unplugged river experience in one of the most beautiful settings in the Pacific Northwest.
The vibe is friendly, welcoming – open to all levels, from experienced boaters to anyone who is completely new to rivers and whitewater.

We are thrilled to be offering these trips in partnership with Momentum River Expeditions. They are known as the best river outfitter in the area with friendly guides who have experience leading trips around the world, and who truly enjoy sharing the outdoors with their guests.

Our river trip is fully outfitted with all rafting and camping gear: boats, kayaks, paddles, PFDs, tents, sleeping pads (over 3″ thick!), and sleeping bags.
All you need to bring is your clothes and your toothbrush.
Our trip starts in Ashland, Oregon. Home to the world-famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival and ranked at the top of the “The 100 Best Small Art Towns in America,” Ashland is a cultural hot spot, with award-winning galleries, theaters, and restaurants all bursting at the seams. Nestled at the base of the Siskiyou and Cascade mountain ranges, Ashland has a reputation for great outdoor recreation, both in the city limits and beyond. Option: Book a few days’ arrival ahead of time to explore this charming art and outdoor town! Ashland is the home of MedTreks, so we are beyond excited to share this gem of a town and the surrounding area with our guests. Upon registration, we provide a detailed list of suggested local hikes, wineries, restaurants, and shows to enjoy during your visit.
The Rogue River: More Than Just Rafting
The Rogue is one of our favorite rivers in the world. The Wild & Scenic section of this river is particularly special because there is a beautiful trail that runs the entire length of the 40+ mile Wild & Scenic Section. This means that in the mornings you can wake up and go for an early morning run. You also have the option of walking the stretch of the river for the day instead of rafting, if you are up for a hiking adventure! We will be taking you on some incredible side hikes to amazing waterfalls. You will explore crystal clear creeks and fern canyons, just steps away from the beach where your tent awaits you. It’s a magical and stunning trip that combines the best of any wilderness adventure!

More About the Rogue River
Wild & Scenic
A trip down the Rogue has been compared to being in a “Planet Earth” movie. There are narrow canyons of polished rock, cool grottos draped in ferns, heavily forested hillsides, big sandy beaches, some of the best swimming holes anywhere, cascading waterfalls, and hikes up tumbling sidestreams. It is common to see bald eagles, osprey, otters, and black bear.
There are over 80 rapids and the whitewater is fun and exciting, yet safe. The rapids and the choice of craft make the Rogue almost unmatched in its ability to satisfy a wide range of tastes and skill levels. In fact, it is not uncommon to see trips enjoyed by three generations of family or friends. You have the choice of sitting in relaxing oar boats, participating in more exciting paddle boats, or navigating the whitewater in an inflatable kayak (this adds a big level of excitement to the rapids).
For the many guides who grew up here, the Rogue is simply home – a place to recharge, relax, and live simply. At the end, that alone might say the most about this place.”
