Sunny Valley is a small, unincorporated community in Josephine County, Oregon, United States. An "unincorporated community" means it's a group of homes and businesses that doesn't have its own local government like a city does. Sunny Valley is located in the southern part of Oregon. You can find it right next to Interstate 5, near exit number 71.
Nature and Landmarks
A stream called Grave Creek flows through Sunny Valley. This creek is a "tributary," which means it's a smaller stream that flows into a larger river. Grave Creek eventually joins the famous Rogue River.
Grave Creek Bridge
One of the most interesting landmarks in Sunny Valley is the Grave Creek Bridge. This bridge is a special type called a "covered bridge." Covered bridges have roofs and walls, like a long tunnel. This design helps protect the wooden parts of the bridge from rain and sun, making them last much longer. The Grave Creek Bridge carries Sunny Valley Loop Road over the creek.
