Sightseeing
On the lower Rogue River. Great drive and great views. If you want a special experience let me, take you for a ride in my 4x4 Jeep to the Rivers and Mountains you won't see from the road!

This is a great trip down the lower Rogue. May want to make reservations in advance. The boats have a limited season and all depends on the river flow.

Just an amazing and beautiful River. The best way to see it, with me in my off road 4x4 Jeep. You'll see places you can't see from the road for sure!

If you come to southern Oregon and you don't take a day trip up the Roge River to its head waters of Crater Lake, you have really missed out. This is a must see. Except in winter....

City advice
Getting around
Walk, ride a bike or drive. It's a small town but idyllic.
If you go off road, be very careful. There are a LOT of illegal Marijuana grow sites and they are protected by guys with weapons. The coast is an hour drive but beautiful. The Redwoods and the Smith River are amazing. The Roge River Valley has some really cool little towns like Gold Hill and the City of Roge River. The upper Roge will take you to Crater Lake and the Natural Bridge. Oh, don't forget Old Downtown Grants Pass. It's the Climate silly or that is what the sign says!
