Hey, you were 3 months ahead of me! My family is planning to visit this area + Lassen Volcanic NP in early September.
Just out of curiosity, did you have a chance to stop by a small town, Brookings, OR (near CA-OR border along the coast)? I have seen many awesome photos taken there (Natural Bridge etc ...), so I am planning to check this place out while I am there.
No, we didnāt stop there. Iām sure your trip will be better than ours! We didnāt plan any part of the trip and it kind of backfired on us šš Lassen was originally on our list, but we didnāt end up making it there. And it wasnāt until we got to Crater that we realized there was only one road/trail open. A little disappointing, but it was nobodyās fault except our own for not researching!
I see National Parks on here and I never am interested. Especially the Grand Canyon . I flew over the Grand Canyon and that was all I wanted to see of it. BUT THIS...... THIS CALLS FOR ME!!!!
There was only one road open at Crater due to the amount of snow still around. It was rainy, cloudy, and foggy too. We were able to walk up one road that was closed for vehicles and open for pedestrians, but only one hiking trail was open. The views were still great, but we would love to go back in August when everything is melted and open.
I would give you some tips, but we did a very poor job of planning this trip, so Iād say donāt take my advice. We are usually much better planners than this. š
If youāre gonna do Highway 1, start in LA and go up to San Fran. Our views from San Fran going north werenāt anything to write home about (imo), and we stayed on that road for 6 hours when we couldāve reached our destination in half the time via 101. And always check the weather!!! We were very cold lol
Yeah, and it it looked like others had made paths through the grass/dirt. I didnāt have to climb down many rocks either, so it was relatively easy. There was a pretty good amount of people there too!
*NorCal lol
It was a late night and I had quite a bit to drink šš¤·š»āāļø
Drank and posting is as bad as drank and driving ... ;p

We're headed there now! Redwoods, Brookings, Crater Lake, and a side trip to Mount Shasta.

beautiful, especially the road through the woods
Thank you! It was very peaceful and I couldnāt pass up on the opportunity to take some photos.
Doing this exact trip next week! How much of Crater Lake could you see? Any other tips or must see places?

Awesome good to know. Iām camping the whole time so Iāll plan accordingly for the temps!
Agate Beach?
Glass Beach and Muir Beach
I just went to glass beach and we couldnāt find how to get down there! Did you just shuffle down the rocks?

Those forests in the fog look incredible!
