What a beautiful national park!…read more Came here on a day where the weather changed between partly cloudy/sunny and snowy/rainy. The snowy surroundings created a nice contrast against the very deep blue color of the lake. In the early morning, it was very peaceful. There were not many people around, likely because of weather. The Steel Visitor Center's film was excellent to get a sense of the geology and history of the park. The lodge also offered an excellent meal with a partial view of the lake. Because of the snow, we were not able to go on the Rim Drive or hike the trails. I would imagine all the views would have been beautiful. The Cleetwood Cove trail down to the lake is closed for 3 summers, through 2028. If weather is of any question, the NPS website has up-to-date information about the weather, including webcams of several spots in the park.

Surprisingly not busy for memorial day weekend although we started early on a sunday morning and a lot of the park was still closed for the season, there was snow! My 3 year old was very pleased. We purchased the annual national park pass at the front gate, sad to hear that the national park staff keeps being reduced and scary to know that there's only *one* emergency ranger on staff currently so please follow the rules folks! Lot's of cute shops for goodies and campgrounds along the way. We stayed an hour away but the drive felt fast and scenic. A nice breath of fresh air. The large parking lot seemed to fill up fast to see the lake, but super close so very accessible. A few hikes were open but honestly just sitting and admiring the lake does the trick. Would love to come back and visit when more of the park is open!

Love sitting on the patio with drink, the restaurant is tourist pricy, but good. The staff always friendly and accommodating. Conversely, I'm not a fan of the motel. The refrigerator made a loud humming noise that kept us awake. Moreover, the freezer barely kept items cold. The rooms are kinda dated: someone closes a door a few doors down and your room shakes. They do accommodate pets and there's a nice grassy area. Overall, it's still a gem of a place.

Don't worry when you follow the directions on where to park and see no business or signs. They literally meet under the bridge next to the parking lot. The boats will arrive at a small metal dock near the bridge. Before the boats arrived we started seeing others gathering and a random woman approached us to check us in and arrange the people waiting by how many are in their party. We finally boarded the boat and the fun began! The captan made sure to offer speed boat thrills on the way to Discovery Park. We were drenched and our backpacks soaked after a few minutes. We were cooled down from the extreme temperatures of 119 that day. Discovery park was surprisingly a strip of land that straddles the rouge river and an enormous pond. The land area is a few acres with a full bar/snack bar, covered tables, gift shop, porta potties, misting coolers, trees for shade, grassy places to set up a picnic blanket, music and more. Of course the main attraction is the huge pond with a floating dock, slide, pedal boats, paddle boards, life vests, etc. We enjoyed 3 hours of water play, snacks, and relaxing in the shade. Overall, the Discovery park is great for families.

I was a little worried because most of the spins were going to be after a buffet brunch. Felt fine. Better than fine. It was great! When I say best, this would best of five or more Jet Boat trips I've taken. Use sunblock or better yet, a hat that ties or inches under your chin.

I have a group of friends who do hiking trips together every few years, and this year we picked…read moreMorrisons Rogue River hike with support from guides on rafts. Booking the trip was relatively straightforward, but Morrisons highly encouraged us to do trip insurance because they don't offer refunds, which should've been the first red flag. Before I go too far, I do want to give a huge shout out to our guides Drew, Adam, and Johnny. They were amazing, and if I were rating just them, this review would be 5++ stars. They were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely cared about us and our hike. The rest of the Morrison's staff...not so much. There was an active wildfire in the area before we started the hike. We talked to Morrison's several times in the days leading up to the trip (before we flew out) and even asked about rebooking the trip for a different time, when the forest in the area wasn't on fire. We were assured that even though they were planning a few modifications to our itinerary (i.e. at least one day of rafting instead of hiking), they were confident that it would be a wonderful trip. Fast forward to the end of day 2 of our trip...and they had to cancel the rest of the 4-day hike due to safety concerns and, ultimately, a mandatory evacuation. To be clear, I'm not upset that we were pulled out of the woods, as that was an obvious safety decision. I'm mad because we specifically asked about rebooking for different dates and were told no. Morrison's got us back to their main lodge the following morning, at which point they considered themselves done with us. There was no refund, no help finding rooms for the night, and the last lodge we were in literally wouldn't even let us use the bathroom in the hour we were waiting for vans to get us back to safety. Morrison's did at least send us all an official email about the trip cancellation so that we could share that with our travel insurance (if we'd purchased it) to try to get a refund, but that was about it. Morrisons also made the guides tell us, rather than having anyone higher up in the company talk to us. From what we can tell, they also didn't do anything to help their guides (e.g. helping them find lodging) once the trip was canceled. I will also add that I'm vegetarian, and although there was a lot of very tasty vegetarian food available, vegetarian protein was extremely scarce. For dinner the two nights we hiked (~9 mi on day 1 and 15 mi on day 2), there was no source of vegetarian protein for me to eat. (The gluten free and dairy free people fared much better.) It would've been so easy to roast a portobello mushroom the way they roasted salmon, or to do some kind of meat substitute when they did ribs (they did have meat substitute at the lunches, and eggs or veggie patties at breakfast). I had brought some protein powder with me, but not enough to make up for dinners without protein. My friends ended up giving me the protein bars they'd brought for themselves to try to make up for the dinners. To Morrison's: please consider all macronutrients (carbs, fat, AND protein) when planning meals for your guests! Overall, I would absolutely go back to the river with any of the guides, but I'll never use Morrisons again, and I recommend that you don't either.

It was a United flight but it had to go to SFO first and then came to Medford ... I guess a 4 hour flight still beats driving and I'm meeting my crew up here in Oregon. They got the big rental Suburban and drove up from Sacramento to meet me here. I got a one way ticket since I'll be driving back with the my crew to California. This is a bigger airport than Redding and has real parking and rental car areas. There's food available, but I didn't need any as I'll grab some food with my crew. Meet up was easy using the cell phone method, basically just park and I'll call you when you can pick me up. This airport MFR worked out fine and I'll fly in or out of here again. Not a place you need to avoid like SFO!

Facing West, I hear that the sunset view in the evening is often beautiful and along the drive on the way up are strategically placed park benches that we noticed for sitting and watching. When we looked in the other direction, we could see the peak of Roxy Ann, a local landmark. We did not use the trail system this day as we were just on a casual sight seeing of the area. There are great opportunities for group photos up here as well as the landscape. The attached website from the city park system has all the trails and visit details. I do know that our local hosts hike it regularly with their active dog and kids. It might be a bit much for me at this point but not for most visitors. The area is rather steep but mostly grassland with an occasional tree. Heed warnings for lack of shade and heat in the summer. But visit it any way that you can.
