Grants Pass sits along the beautiful Rogue River in southern Oregon and its cheerful town slogan is It's the Climate. It is a favorite base for river adventures.
You can go rafting or jet boating on the Rogue River, meet rescued big cats at Wildlife Images, and enjoy the fun Boatnik festival with races over Memorial Day weekend.
The wild Rogue River runs right through Grants Pass, and families come from far away to raft, fish, and ride splashy jet boats down the rapids.
Near Grants Pass you can visit a wildlife rescue center that cares for bears and big cats, and explore forests and caves in the green hills nearby.
