Next up…Crater Lake National Park in Oregon and Redwood National and State Parks in California.
Part IV
October 6, 2015 – November 5, 2015
After we finished our Olympic Peninsula loop, we drove south toward Oregon. We drove in the middle of the night to avoid the traffic and congestion around Portland, OR (confused why we would do that? Learn more about the hazards of towing a travel trailer here). We had visited downtown Portland and the Columbia River Gorge on a previous trip to the PNW, so we bypassed that this time. (However, we HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend the Columbia River Gorge to anyone who loves waterfalls, hiking and lush, green forests).
Eugene was an overnight stop where we made a point to visit some tasty Oregon craft breweries. We originally planned to head straight south to California toward the Redwoods, but decided we couldn’t pass up Crater Lake National Park, and we’re grateful we didn’t. It wasn’t too long before we made it to Northern California, and spent four weeks along the coast and in the Redwood National and State Parks.

On the last leg of this route, we relocated a few hours north in Gold Beach, OR to settle down for a “home base” to handle the expected increase in orders for the holiday season. Click Here to check out our pictures and highlights from our Oregon coast adventures.
