Pacific Loop

This vacation took us 2,814 miles through 3 national parks, 4 national monuments and a dozen national forests in California and Oregon.  We ended up with 216 pictures which you can view by clicking on the links below.  We saw many volcanic features, including craters, lava flows, lava caves, and geothermal activity. We saw a host of wildlife including bears, deer, elk, and lots of raptors, including a bald eagle!  We enjoyed some great campsites, even one that was inside the crater of a volcano.
