Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake has inspired people for thousands of years. No place else on earth combines a deep, pure lake, so blue in color; sheer surrounding cliffs, almost two thousand feet high; two picturesque islands; and a violent volcanic past. It is a place of immeasurable beauty, and an outstanding outdoor laboratory and classroom.

Toketee Falls
Toketee Falls is one of the most famous waterfalls in all of Oregon, renowned far and wide for the graceful columnar basalt formation framing the two-stepped falls. The North Umpqua River has carved a sinuous gorge out of the lava flow, resulting in a waterfall of 113 feet in height - a 28 foot upper tier which plunges into a pool flanked by a deep alcove, followed by an 85 foot plunge into a large pool.

Wildlife Safari Animal Park
Wildlife Safari is a non-profit AZA accredited zoological park dedicated to conservation. You can view over 500 animals in their natural habitat roaming freely much as they do in the wild.

This unique setting offers many opportunities to get up close and personal with animals large and small.
