I don’t know the Rogue River area (I live in Virginia, and am mostly lurking on this board while I prepare for a trip on Mt. Hood in a couple of weeks). That said, if it’s at all ticky there, I absolutely would not wear shorts.
Back east, where I more or less assume I’ll encounter ticks on any trip into the blue ridge, I always wear long pants with permethrin treatment. If I think I’m likely to have to walk through grass at all, I add gaiters.
(All of that said, the east coast is a different world for ticks - Lyme is much more prevalent here.)
