Grants Pass: The Rogue River City
Located just one hour north of the
Oregon-California border, Grants Pass is a working-class and tourist-friendly
town of salt-of-the-earth people. Approximately 30,000 people call the city of
Grants Pass home and for several good reasons.
First, it is located
right on the banks of the Rogue river.
Second, it is a town with a rich
history and quaint downtown. Third, it has fantastic weather with an average
high of 68 degrees and approximately 25 inches of rain a year...that sounds
nice.
And, fourth, it is a gateway to recreation paradise. From scouting
out Crater Lake, an easy day's drive up and back, to rafting the rapids of the
Rogue river, there is a ton of fun stuff to do! For more information we invite
you to see below and then come to Grants Pass and see for
yourself!
