Along the wild Rogue River, this city delivers outdoor thrills without the tourist crowds. Paddle through rapids with guides who share gold rush and Bigfoot tales. The Dutch Bros coffee empire began here – spot their stickers on nearly every local vehicle. Grants Pass Museum of Art showcases regional talent in a historic building. Riverside Park offers perfect picnic spots to watch kayakers navigate the currents. After adventure, sample Rogue Valley wines at Schmidt Family Vineyards, where the tasting room feels like a friend's living room. Locals joke the climate shifts so dramatically you might experience all four seasons before lunch.
