Event Description:
Siskiyou Land Trust's December slideshow will feature one of our region's scenic treasures, the Rogue River of southern Oregon. The show will be presented by Jack Moore, long-time resident of Siskiyou county, outdoor enthusiast and community volunteer. Oregon’s famed Rogue River runs from the snows of Crater Lake to the crashing shores of the Pacific. Its winding and wild waters have long attracted Native Americans, gold miners, fur trappers, intrepid explorers, fanatical fishermen, scheming politicians, daring river men, famous celebrities, notable authors, hardy hikers, Hollywood filmmakers and more. Although a fairly small and short river compared to the mighty Mississippi, the Rogue’s near-mythic, colorful and truth-stretching tales stretch nearly as long. The Rogue was designated as one of the original eight rivers included in the federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968. In addition to all claims mentioned above, the Rogue River also offers renowned steelhead and Chinook salmon fishing, world-class whitewater, scenic hiking and abundant wildlife including black bear, river otter, blacktail deer, bald eagles, osprey, great blue heron, water ouzel, Canada geese and more. Come join us for a historical and entertaining excursion down this beautiful, famous and storied river. The Land Trust slideshow series will be held at the Museum on the second Thursday monthly from November through April.
