This area of Interstate-5 begins at Interstate-5 mile post 54 between Grants Pass and Medford, Oregon. Interstate-5 runs along the Rogue River in this area between Grants Pass and Medford. At Medford Interstate-5 leaves the Rogue and heads across the Rogue Valley for the Siskiyou Mountains. Siskiyou Pass If you are traveling in the winter the 4,310 foot Siskiyou Pass is a concern. Often it is closed or has chains required. If you are not used to driving mountain passes or do not have chains stop in Ashland and get a traffic report. We suggest you never drive the pass late in the day or at night. Driving a snow covered mountain pass is difficult in the day and dangerous in the night if you are not accustomed to it. .
