AIRLINES: If you're planning to fly to our area, United Airlines, United Express (800-241-6522), and Horizon Air (800-547-9308) land in Medford, 30 miles south of Grants Pass. We suggest you make airline reservations well in advance. Airport Transit Service will provide transportation to your motel in Grants Pass for a small charge. To assure space in the shuttle van, phone (541) 479-3217 for reservations. The van parks in front of the baggage pick-up room and is well marked for Grants Pass.

Sorry, but unless airline schedules change, we return too late the final day to meet the last flights out. There are several early flights the following morning, however. The Airport Transit Service can also provide transportation from your motel to the airport.

Guests flying by private plane should plan to land at the Josephine County Airport in Merlin, or at the Municipal Airport in Roseburg (if flying in from the north).

TRIP ITINERARY: Guests and guides will meet at the office/warehouse in Merlin at 6:30 a.m., or at the Windmill Inn in Roseburg at approximately 8:00 a.m., unless other arrangements are made. Travel time to the put-in is approximately 2 hours from Grants Pass. Have a substantial breakfast as it will be a long time until lunch.

Your first day of the North Umpqua Thriller begins near Steamboat Inn (approximately 36 miles east of Roseburg). The river is characterized by swift current, crystal clear water, and nearly continuous activity in moderate-sized waves among numerous rocks and other obstacles. There will be ample time this evening and the following morning to fish or enjoy Steamboat Inn or other condominium accommodations in the surrounding area.

On day two, we will enjoy exciting whitewater obstacles that will challenge even the most experienced OTT "veteran guests".

The last day finds us kayaking a section of river situated in a narrow gorge. The rapids are relatively short, but feature steep drops that vary in difficulty, some of which require precise maneuvering between rocks and holes. A late lunch will be served at the take-out prior to our scenic drive back to the Roseburg/Grants Pass areas.

We will be lodging at the Steamboat Inn on both nights of the trip which eliminates the need for packing your gear in a dry bag. If Steamboat Inn is not available, we will be staying at the Steelhead Run Inn.

A list of motels, hotels, and Bed & Breakfasts are on the next page.

PACKING YOUR GEAR: On trip morning, you only need take essential river gear with you on the river, (i.e. water bottle, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, camera, etc). All the rest of your personal belongings can stay in the shuttle vehicle or be left at our warehouse, and will be transported to the lodge.

TRIP ITINERARY
Guests and guides meet at our warehouse in Merlin at 8:30 a.m. We will have a brief orientation for inflatable kayakers and paddle rafters at the river, prior to putting on the water at Robertson Bridge. You will cover 14 miles of class I - II+ white water during the course of the day. This is an excellent introductory trip for first time kayakers. You will paddle through moderate stretches of white water, calm pools, experience an abundance of wild life, and float through Hell Gate Canyon (featured in the movie River Wild).

For those not wishing to paddle their own kayak or join a group in a paddle raft, oared rafts are available upon request. Each large raft will hold 4 to 6 adults. An all you can eat BBQ lunch will be served mid day at Indian Mary Park. After lunch, you will continue down river. The rapids pick up considerably in the second half of the day. Cameras are encouraged, as there are some great photo opportunities along this stretch, and our guides will be happy to work with you in getting good vacation shots of the family rafting the Rogue. After a full day on the water, you will reach the take-out around 4:30 p.m. Vans will be there to transport you to Morrison's Lodge where you will stay in cabins near the river and dine on gourmet meals.

On day two, we will pick you up at the lodge at approximately 6:30 a.m. to begin our journey on the beautiful North Umpqua River. Travel time to the put-in is approximately 2.5 hours from the lodge. Morrison's will provide you with a boxed breakfast and coffee for the ride to the river.

On the North Umpqua, the rapids are relatively short, but feature steep drops that vary in difficulty, some of which require precise maneuvering between rocks and holes. The length and location of our North Umpqua run will vary depending on water conditions. We have designed day two of this trip as a challenging run and remain flexible with changing conditions to ensure the best whitewater. We will enjoy a late lunch before packing up and heading back to Grants Pass around 3:30 p.m.
