Grants Pass, Oregon

Billed as Oregon’s whitewater rafting capital and known for an iconic “It’s the Climate” slogan, Grants Pass is one colourful county seat.
The powerful Rogue River might steal your attention here — it runs through the city — but so will the endless options for high-quality food and drink, shopping, history, outdoor recreation and exploration.

The history of Grants Pass reads like a classic chapter of the American West. The railroad, the gold rush and the lumber boom all shaped the town. Today, this hamlet in Southern Oregon is coloured by the wild flavour of the Rogue River, which bisects the town. Pay a visit to Grants Pass for all that the river inspires — outdoor recreation, fine wine, arts and more.
Historic Charm: Stroll through the National Historic District to view classic 19th-century commercial buildings and homes. Browse a rich collection of antique stores like the Old Town Antique Mall, Stovepipe Antiques and Elegance. Take in a show at the lovingly restored Historic Rogue Theater, first built in 1938.
River Time: The lively Rogue River offers adventures to suit all types. Rip upriver with Hellgate Jetboat Excursions to view the dramatic Hellgate Canyon, or take a longer trip and stop for lunch at a riverside lodge. Hike and camp your way along the 40-mile Rogue River Trail and take in the wild beauty of the woods. Raft or kayak on the 33-mile section of the Rogue National Wild and Scenic River for the trip of a lifetime. And those who just want to sit back and bask in the beauty of the Rogue River can cruise downstream and sip craft brews on the new Paddled Pub experience.
Fine Wines: Part of the Applegate Valley wine region, Grants Pass is rich with big reds and classic whites. Pay a visit to the Craftsman-style tasting room at Schmidt Family Vineyards for cabernet sauvignon, tempranillo and cabernet franc. Soloro Vineyard offers Rhone varietals like syrah, Grenache and viognier. Woolridge Creek Winery overlooks the lovely Applegate Valley and features many wines available on tap (just like beer). For more great wines, check out the nearly 30 vineyards on the Applegate Valley Wine Trail.
