Day 8 - Umpqua River and Crater Lake National Park



We left Portland early in the morning and headed south on Interstate 5 about 3.5 hours to Roseburg, Oregon. Then we headed east on the scenic Rogue-Umpqua Byway. The highlights are beautiful scenery the North Umpqua River and the many, easy to hike to waterfalls.

Firefighters heading in towards the falls. A small fire was burning. Time for us to leave.


We drove into Crater Lake National Park from the north side. The landscape is awesome!

I would love to go back someday and explore further.
