Grants Pass

As a pillar of southern Oregon wine country, and with a calendar of lively year-round events, Grants Pass is fueled by the spirit of the Rogue River and the nearby Applegate and Illinois Rivers.

Ask Oregon

Are there hikes near Rogue River (the city) that reach an elevation of 1,500 feet?

I love your question! Like you, I must have elevation hiking, and I live near Rogue River.
