Highway 62 is so much more than just the road to Crater Lake National Park — it's an adventure all its own. This scenic Upper Rogue region offers outstanding opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts throughout hundreds of square miles of endless beauty: towering pines, mountain meadows, lakes, waterfalls, scenic views that go on forever, all teeming with wildlife. Nature lovers will love this area, with plenty of campsites and pristine hiking, bicycling and horseback trails.

For the more adventurous, 127 mi. of off-highway vehicle trails await with staging areas in Prospect. Sportsmen will find ample opportunity as well with world renowned salmon and steelhead fishing, or elk, deer and bear hunting.

The Rogue River — along with the Lost Creek Reservoir and numerous smaller creeks and lakes — provides the perfect playground for swimming, fishing, boating and rafting. Expect to be pulling over for photo opportunities along they way; you'll find a thousand prizewinning shots on the beautiful Upper Rogue.

In winter, the area becomes a snow lover's paradise. Crater Lake provides spectacular cross-country skiing with several marked ski trails available at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Snow laden trees, open meadows, deep snow and pristine vistas await those who venture out onto these ungroomed wilderness trails. Take in the views at a more sedate pace with a pair of snowshoes, or add a bit of speed to your vacation with 150 mi. of well-groomed, uncluttered snowmobile trails. Local outfitters and guide services will help to make your outdoor adventure safe and exciting. The area's hotels and resorts provide the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day of exploration.
