Hello,
My wife and I are planning a 4ish day backpack from Graves Creek to Foster Bar. My question is, is there a place to park our car at Foster Bar then hitch a ride or pay for a shuttle to Graves Creek? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I don't really want to hand my keys over to someone.
Thank you,
Scott

In the field guide:
There are several shuttle services for hikers and rafters/kayakers:
White Water Cowboys
Morrisons Rogue Wilderness Adventures
BLT's Rogue River Shuttles

I suspect they're not available now - too early
Out and back from Graves Creek is nice - things are different the opposite direction and a different day
I believe the road is closed from Galice to Graves Creek Trailhead, but I went to Graves Creek Trailhead from Wolf Creek a couple months ago.

It's nice to do it all the way through at some point - there is some great scenery on the western end, though the last few miles is a road walk. I did that the fist time, and then an out and back since then.
The shuttles are a good deal once the coast range melts out and the river runners get started, but you do have to give them your keys. They park the car in a locked lot and only drive them out west on the day you say you plan to arrive. That's at least a month away I think.
