Today, I'm taking you to a place that will blow your mind: Hellgate Canyon on the Rogue River in Southern Oregon.
Hellgate Canyon is the deepest gorge on the Rogue River, over 200 feet deep, and it demonstrates the power of water in an extraordinary geologic setting. The canyon walls are made of serpentine and greenstone, often associated with deep-seated faults, and sandwiched by metamorphosed marine sediments of the Galice Formation.
The Rogue River originates near Crater Lake, from Boundary Springs, and twists and roars for 215 miles through the Cascade, Siskiyou and Coastal Ranges before spilling into the Pacific at Gold Beach. Along the way, it offers spectacular rapids and falls, as well as calm and serene waters. The river is home to Chinook salmon, steelhead, and trout, making it a paradise for anglers. You can also enjoy boating, kayaking, rafting, or jetboating through the canyon with Hellgate Jetboat Excursions, one of the first ever jetboat companies in the United States.
