By plane
While there are several small airports in the region, the primary airport for commercial travel is the Rogue Valley International Airport, in Medford. Because this is the stopping point for most flight routes, tickets can be expensive; the addition of several new airlines in recent years, though, has helped.
By train
Amtrak's Coastal Starlight line runs through southern Oregon, with stops in Klamath Falls and Chemult. While slow and inconvenient access to the Rogue Valley and Grants Pass is provided only by bus, the train is an excellent way to visit while enjoying some of the region's best views.
By car
The most popular way to visit southern Oregon is by car. The I-5 freeway bisects the region through Grants Pass and the Rogue Valley, with exits at Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, Medford, Central Point, Gold Hill, Rogue River, and Grants Pass. Travel times are approximately 4 1/2 hours north to Portland, and 2 1/2 hours south to Redding.
