Grants Pass may not be Oregon’s only
gateway to the mighty Rogue River, but it is the most famous. Known as the
“river rafting capital of Oregon,” Grants Pass is located approximately 50
miles northwest of Ashland and the
California border, on the banks of the picturesque Rogue River. Its
proximity to landmarks such as Crater Lake and the Oregon Caves makes it one
of the most popular travel destinations in
Southern Oregon.
Bordered by the Coast Mountains on the west
and the Cascade Mountains on
the east, it is within easy reach of several Alpine ski and winter
recreation areas. Nordic (cross-country) skiing, snowmobiling and a wide
range of summer activities are available in the Rogue River-Siskiyou
National Forest, west of the city.
Dining opportunities in Grants Pass span
the globe, ranging from down-home American dishes to Thai, Mexican and
Vegetarian selections. Accommodations include bed and breakfast inns, and a
selective choice of motels and hotels.
Attractions in the Grants Pass area are
numerous. The city’s downtown section has recently been declared a National
Historic District and is worth a stroll. Located less than an hour north of
popular Medford and Ashland, Grants
Pass is surrounded by wineries, many of which offer summer events and wine
tastings to the public. Also located in Grants Pass is the Wild Images
Rehabilitation and Education Center, a nonprofit organization that
rehabilitates wild animals. Public tours are available. |
