Fresh mountain air, wild rivers, towering waterfalls, innumerable trails to discover and ohhhh, those magical old growth forests! Central Oregon is an outdoor mecca, and one of the top trail running areas in the country with an astonishing diversity of terrain. This small group trip features epic, off-the-beaten track trail running, delicious meals, river rafting, nonstop views, and more than a few opportunities to kick back and soak it all in with a local brew in hand.

The trails can be challenging at times, but all running levels can be accommodated – this is an excellent trip for both relaxed hike/running and those who want to test their legs on steep terrain. We take care of all the details, and you show up ready to play!

TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS
We will pick up participants at the Bend/Redmond airport (RDM) between noon-3pm on arrival day. If you arrive early or choose to drive from Portland we will do our best to arrange to pick you up elsewhere in the Bend/Redmond area; get in touch with us to discuss the possibilities!

Flights out on the final day should be no earlier than 1pm, and we will take you to the Bend/Redmond airport. If you would like to extend your stay to explore the area around Bend, we are happy to drop you off anywhere in town at the end of the trip. We will provide suggestions and guidance to all registered participants!

Please note that travel insurance is strongly recommended. Although we hope you never need it, we've seen enough to know that it can be a lifesaver in the event of a medical emergency, flight delays that cause you to miss the start of the trip, lost baggage or cancellation on your part (broke your leg two weeks before departure? Insurance could cover the entire cost of your trip!).  


FAQS & COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
Please note that this trip will only run if we are confident that it can be done in a reasonably safe, enjoyable and of course legal manner, and that all participants must be willing to abide by any and all safety measures that our guides and/or government officials deem necessary during this trip. We ran three wonderful Oregon trips in 2021 and would love to assume that the pandemic will be a distant memory by summer 2022, but who knows? Registered participants will be kept updated as things evolve.

In the event that Rogue Expeditions cancels this trip due to COVID-19-related issues, participants are guaranteed a full refund or credit of all payments made towards this trip, and those using a credit from a previously cancelled trip will have their credit extended again.

You can find the full cancellation/transfer policy, along with the rest of the trip-specific FAQS here.

This was one hell of a trip filled with endless fun, amazing off the beaten path adventure, delicious and nutritious food, and mind-blowing photos and memories.

Rogue surpassed my expectations, and made me a fan who can’t wait to book again. The worst thing about the trip is returning back to normal life...yet you come away with new motivation in knowing what is out there waiting. Put the yellow pad plan away...Go Rogue...get exposed to EPIC...and come away knowing life will never be the same.
