Waterfall in the Rogue River Gorge

The power of the Rogue River crashing through the basalt is well worth the stop. Longer hike routes along the Upper Rogue River trail are available from this trailhead.

In the early spring, the rushing waters of the Rogue River may obscure the features of Natural Bridge - where the waters briefly dip underground as they roar through a lava tube. The gate remains closed until early spring; you may have to hike in from the road if this is the case.

The Rogue Gorge is a tight channel of basalt lava that constricts the river and creates incredible views and sounds of rushing water.

Tub Springs Wayside served as a rest stop for pioneers traveling on the Applegate Trail in 1846 before descending the mountain pass into Ashland. It's a wonderful location where you can take a break amidst the towering fir trees and breathe in the crisp mountain air. The name "Tub Springs" originated from the tubs that were installed in the 1930s to supply spring water to travelers. The tubs have been restored and are still in use today.

This natural bridge isn't like ones you may have seen elsewhere. Rather than being cut through the erosive action of the river, this "bridge" is actually an ancient lava tube that the river flows through for about 200 feet.

Mount McLouglin is one of the tallest peaks in Oregon. It is a dormant volcano that last erupted between 20,000 and 30,000 years ago. There are amazing views from the top of Sky Lakes Wilderness, Fourmile Lake, Lake of the Woods and Fish Lake.
