Though there is plenty of rural prettiness in the mountains beyond Ashland city limits, the closest official sight-seeing drive, the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, begins in Roseburg, just over 100 miles north of Ashland. With time to spare, don't miss a roadtrip up the coast or a journey through the state's "outback", to the east.
