We escaped town on a Friday afternoon in August and made our way over to the North Umpqua River. We attempted to camp at Susan Creek, a nice campground we discovered last year but we found it full so we moved upriver to Bogus Creek for the night.
In the morning, we moved on to the main purpose of the trip, a visit to the Umpqua Valley Viticultural Area. Also known as a winery tour.
Who knew the North Umpqua had so many waterfalls? I sure didn’t. But following our recent tour, I’m impressed.
I’ve certainly traveled the North Umpqua before, but I’ve actually not spent the time I would have liked to actually. I certainly knew it was a place of great beauty, but other than a day of fishing a small stretch I really hadn’t had the time to dig in. This past weekend was the first attempt to remedy that.
After stumbling across a web brochure I was surprised at the number of waterfalls either on or running into the North Umpqua. Add in a great campground and we had a weekend.
