General Info.
Ashland, Oregon
Ashland is located 15 miles north of the California
border on Interstate 5 at the south end of the Rogue Valley, sitting at about 2,000 feet
above sea level. Mt. Ashland looms above the city to the South, 7,500 feet high, and the
Cascade Range lies about 30 miles to the east. Ashland offers qualities of life that many
towns only dream about. Snow-capped mountain peaks, a major theater company joined by
other smaller theaters, art galleries, museums and fine restaurants offer a truly
picturesque setting. Ashland is a unique place, offering a ski resort in the winter, and
three other distinctive seasons. With its warm summers and mild climate, Ashland is an
excellent place to garden. The climate is so good, in fact, that Ashland had an active
agricultural industry around the turn of the century. The Rogue Valley is still known as
"pear country," and you can see trees from the old orchards around town. The
climate is also conducive to growing grapes, and Ashland has two local wineries. Ashland
has an active and varied theatrical community. Home to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival,
Ashland also boasts nine other theater groups, which perform a wide variety of
productions, including musicals, comedies, and experimental theater, all year long..

Grants Pass, Oregon
Grants Pass is located in southern Oregon about 60 miles north of the California border in
Southern Oregon. It is a town filled with beauty, history and scenic attractions.
Downtown Grants Pass recently earned the distinction of a National Historic District
because of its historic buildings and homes. Downtown is filled with antique and
collectible shops, ice cream parlors, and sidewalk espresso stands. Be sure to stroll
through downtown and enjoy the beautifully restored historical buildings. Grants Pass and
the Rogue Valley are famous for the wonderful climate! The highlight of Grants Pass is the
mighty Rogue River flowing through town. Riverside Park is located right on the Rogue
River and is a wonderful place to picnic and walk along the Rogue. The city is often
referred to the "whitewater rafting capital" of Oregon and over 25 outfitters
offer rafting adventures in Grants Pass and nearby Merlin.
Also there are jet boats that leave from Grants Pass and take visitors on a tour through
Hellgate Canyon. Be sure to bring your cameras to catch the extensive wildlife on film. In
1968 the Rogue River was designated by Congress as a National Wild and Scenic river. This
means that visitors have access to an unspoiled wilderness world that Southern Oregon has
to offer.
Grants Pass abounds with modern campgrounds and RV facilities, many with boat ramps and
riverside campsites. Josephine County has an extensive system of parks, and many of these
are on the Rogue River. As far as overnight accommodations, you will find everything from
motels to elegant bed and breakfast inns.
At the end of May in Grants Pass is the world famous Boatnik festival at Riverside Park.
It lasts four days and the main event is a thrilling hydroboat race. Grants Pass is also
host to Southern Oregon's largest outdoor "Growers Market". In spring and fall,
the Grants Pass is awash in color with the new blooms or the fall turning of the trees,
but anytime of year at all, Grants Pass is an exceptionally beautiful town.
