Highlights

Pack your sense of adventure for a wilderness romp through Oregon's Cascade Mountains. First we set our sights on picturesque Klamath Lake and ease into vacation mode with a meandering ride that traces a prime migration route for pelicans, egrets and other waterfowl. Up the ante on a hike to the rim of Crater Lake for jaw-dropping vistas of the fascinating six-mile-wide caldera. Adults and youngsters alike will marvel at its sheer immensity and peculiar geologic formations. Whether on terra firma or by boat, discover a new awe-inspiring vantage point around every turn. Finally, arrive in Bend, one of Outside magazine's most beloved towns, and grab your oars for a splashing good time on Deschutes River rapids.
