Getting There
Airport
We highly recommend being in the area the night before the trip and not making departing flight arrangements until the morning after the last day of the trip. If flying, make connections to Medford (MFR). Car rentals are available at the airport. Grants Pass is 30 minutes from the Medford Airport. The Galice Resort (our meeting location) is one hour from the Airport and 30 minutes from Grants Pass.
Transportation & Shuttles
The shuttle from our take-out back to Galice is by 15-passenger van and takes about 2 hours. The drive is very scenic but the road is narrow and windy. For folks intending to continue to the coast after the trip, we recommend having your vehicle shuttled to Foster Bar. Please let us know if you would like to have your car shuttled. We will help you make arrangements with our shuttle company before your trip. Please bring an extra set of keys and call our office for current rates.
