Photographic tour of the Applegate Valley in Southern Oregon. The Applegate Valley runs between Grants Pass and Medford Oregon along the famous Applegate River.

Here is a beautiful "old time" scaled down locomotive that at one time must have carried thousands of folks around a small scale track. It hasn't been used for years and now serves as a roadside curiosity about 4 miles south of Murphy, Oregon on Highway 238.

These photos are taken and posted by Ed of A Better Life Real Estate so that everyone can see the beauty of the magical Applegate River Valley. This valley stretches from Murphy (10 miles south of Grants Pass, Oregon) all the way to historic Jacksonville, home of the famous Britt Festival.

If you are interested in real estate Ed can assist you with locating the perfect home or land in the Applegate. From Applegate River front luxury homes to secluded rural Williams acreage for the simple "off the grid" lifestyle the wonderful Applegate truly offers anything one could want in country real estate.

Ed has 9 years of real estate experience to offer you. He specializes in the Applegate Valley. His home is located on 5 acres in Williams, Oregon, right in the "heart" of the Applegate Valley.

Looking south towards Provolt and Applegate from Highway 238. Here we are about 4.5 miles south of Murphy, just prior to the turnoff that leads to Williams, Oregon where I have my 5 acres in the Oregon forest.

Up in the mountains off in the distance is the Applegate Lake. It is a favorite camping, boating and fishing destination. It is not far from the California border.
