Southern Oregon
Roughly defined southern Oregon is the region from the California line south of Ashland, Oregon in the southern part of the Rogue River Valley to just north of Roseburg, Oregon. Lying between the coastal Range of the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Mountains, southern Oregon is a mountainous area. It is more like northern California than the rest of Oregon.

The Grants Pass
Grants Pass, Oregon started out as a stop on the stagecoach road between Sacramento, California and Portland, Oregon. It was more than likely the excellent weather and its close proximity to some of the most spectacular scenery that made it much more than a crossroads town. With the Rogue River running through the center of town, it is no surprise that most recreational activities focus around the water. Located at the junction of I-5 and U.S. 199 Grants Pass, Oregon is also the largest town as you are heading for the redwood forest.

The Medford
Medford is the major city in the Rogue River Valley, with towns like Ashland and Grants Pass nearby. While the city has a population of 64,000, it's the regional center for nine counties that hold about half a million people.
