The Shakespeare Festival may be the

big draw to Ashland, but between the plays there is plenty to do here. You can find unique outdoor recreational opportunities in the rugged terrain and wild rivers of Southern Oregon, or you can wander the back country hills tasting wine. You can challenge your intellect with some of the most exciting, innovative theater in the country, or you can get in some serious shopping. Throughout it all, you have your pick of outstanding places to eat.

Of course, there’s one more option: Prop your feet up at the Ashland Mountain House and just plain relax.
