<p>Climb through the rugged edges of the Rogue River Canyon and wind through the beautiful Siskiyou Mountains to experience the spectacular views of the wild river. Keen observers will catch a glimpse of the elk, deer, wild turkeys and black bears that inhabit the area.</p>

<p>Explore the Raine Falls, accessed by a hiking trail at the start of the byway or take the trailhead to the Rogue River National Recreation Trail, where you can hike or backpack along the banks of the river from Grave Creek to Marial, a daunting 24 miles.</p>

<p>Round off your trip resting and relaxing at the Historic Rogue River Ranch, which lies at the end of the byway. Dating back to the late 1800s, the ranch grew from a one-room cabin to what it is today.</p>

<p>Providing numerous chances to camp, hike, backpack raft, fish or many other activities, the Grave Creek to Marial Back Country Byway has many opportunities for fun and relaxation.</p>
