Medford, OR
Located in southern Oregon, Medford is a major hub for outdoor recreation. The city lies in a rain shadow, which means the climate is sunnier and warmer than other parts of western Oregon.

The Table Rocks are one of Medford’s most popular spots and have two distinct trails that ascend the plateaus.
