Southern Oregon
List with Go Northwest!
Southern Oregon is a land of dramatic contrasts. Marked by
spectacular mountains, deep lakes, rich valleys and arid deserts, the
southern Oregon region extends from the California border, north to the
shores of the Umpqua River. Mountain ranges hem in some of the region's most
captivating valleys, providing lush countryside for hiking, camping,
fly-fishing and river rafting.
At the southeastern edge of the region is Klamath Falls. Oregon's desert
country starts here and is home to the Lava Beds National Monument.
Approximately 55 miles west of
Klamath Falls, is the city of Ashland
and Oregon's most southern ski area, Mt. Ashland. Known for its vibrant art
community and many festivals, Ashland attracts visitors year-round.
North of Ashland is Medford, the hub of
the Rogue Valley. Famous for its wines, cheeses and specialty products, it
is situated near the stunning Applegate Valley and historic town of
Jacksonville. On the northern
tip of the Applegate Valley is Grants Pass, a starting point to exploring
the historic Rogue River.
The southern region of Oregon is linked together by Interstate 5, the
north-south corridor of the Western United States. The small country town of
Drain marks the northern tip of the Southern Oregon region, accessible from
all points north and south by Highway 5. To the west of Drain is the
beautiful Umpqua valley and historic Elkton, gateway to Oregon's spectacular
west coast.
World-class wineries and farmers' markets are hallmarks of Southern Oregon
and are easily reached by Highway 5 and adjoining roads. Driving tours offer
an interesting and enjoyable way to sample the many attractions and
activities that comprise the Southern Oregon area.
