A second entry in our winter series on other rivers we enjoy paddling.If you’re looking to plan a family river vacation out West, the Rogue River in southwestern Oregon is one of the finest experiences you can choose.

We recently came across this lovely blog article featuring the story and photos of an upper Buffalo River hiking adventure to Whitaker Point (aka Hawksbill Crag) that a dad and his two young girls recently enjoyed together. We found Steve Rush's account of his outing with the kids to represent how perfectly the charm of wintertime on the Buffalo can be enjoyed by families with youngsters.
