| Itinerary

![]() |
There are few places on earth that can command overwhelming awe from observers, but Crater Lake, in south central Oregon, certainly does. As mysterious as it is beautiful, stories of the deep blue lake can never prepare visitors for their first breathtaking look from the brink of this 6 mile wide caldera which was created by the eruption and collapse of Mt. Mazama almost 7,000 years ago. Even seasoned travelers gasp at the grand twenty-mile circle of cliffs, tinted in subtle shades and fringed with hemlock, fir, and pine: all this in a lake of indescribable blue.
-
Day 1: Bay Area - Redwood National Forest - Eureka Redwood National Forest:
Head north and drive through California's wine country - Napa Valley on the
way to the Redwood National Forest. The forest is home to world's tallest
trees: old-growth coast redwoods. The trees can live to be 2000 years old and
grow to over 300 feet tall. Spruce, hemlock, Douglas-fir, berry bushes, and
sword ferns create a multiple canopied under story that towers over all
visitors. In the afternoon, enter the Redwood National Forest as highlights
include: Chandelier Tree, Tree Shop, Founder's Tree Grove, and the Avenue of
Giants. Overnight stay in Eureka.
Hotel: Holiday Inn
Express, Eureka, CA or similar†
-
Day 2: Eureka - Crater Lake - Klamath Falls:
Visit the largest volcanic lake in the world, at Crater Lake National Park.
The lake was formed after the collapse of Mount Mazama -an ancient volcano
that erupted approximately 7,700 years ago. The lake is 6 miles long, 4
miles wide and 1932 feet deep. Overnight stay in Klamath Falls.
Hotel:
Red Lion, Klamath Falls, OR or
similar†
-
Day 3: Klamath Falls - Lava Beds National Monument - Bay Area:
Volcanic eruptions on the Medicine Lake shield volcano have created an incredibly rugged landscape punctuated by cinder cones, lava flows, spatter cones, lava tube caves and pit craters. During the Modoc War of 1872-1873, the Modoc Indians used these lava flows to their advantage. Under the leadership of Captain Jack, the Modocs took refuge in "Captain Jack's Stronghold," a natural lava fortress. This morning, visit Lava Beds National Monument. Return to the Bay Area in the afternoon.
