Grants Pass, OR
An Amazing town -
4/2/2009Grants Pass is a mid-sized town full of charm settled in a valley surrounded by beautiful hills on the banks of the Rogue River. I cannot say enough about this interesting, fun town filled with friendly people. They have worked very hard on the downtown, recreating it as it was long ago, even down to the street lights. The downtown has several fun antique shopes, and decorated fire hydrants, and for awhile each year, artists design and creatively paint life-sized bears that decorate the town. The town has a beautiful city park on the river, with a great play area, and room for sports. Don't miss Hellgate Jetboats, they are an exciting way to spend an afternoon! And Amazing May is a month filled with fun activities, from the hot air balloon festival, to the Native American Pow Wow, to an old car ralley, to the grand finale- Boatnik on Memorial Day week-end, where you will appreciate the beautiful ceremony in honor of out lost loved ones who fought for our country, and thrill to the fast and furious boat races. Grants Pass is a wonderful family town in a beautiful setting!
