Grants Pass
POP 35,000
As a modern and not particularly scenic city Grants Pass isn't a huge tourist destination,
but its location on the banks of the Rogue River makes it a portal to adventure. White-
water rafting, fine fishing and jet-boat excursions are the biggest attractions, and there's
also good camping and hiking in the area.
If you're here on a Saturday between mid-March and Thanksgiving be sure to check
out the
Outdoors Growers' Market
, a farmers and craft market that draws the city to-
gether. Grants Pass is also the gateway to Oregon Caves National Monument.
