Redwoods to High Desert Loop

A scenic loop journey from the coastal redwoods of Northern California to the high desert landscapes and mountain peaks of Oregon.


Route: San Francisco → Napa → Calistoga → Avenue of the Giants → Eureka → Redwood NP → Fern Canyon → Jedediah Smith → Crescent City → Crater Lake → Smith Rock → Bend → Mount Hood → Multnomah Falls → Portland

I've expanded your trip to 6 days by slowing down the transition between the giant Redwoods and the volcanic peaks of Oregon. This gives you more time to breathe in the coastal air before heading into the mountains.
