Itinerary
Day 1: Explore Portland to Eugene
Pass By: America's Hub World Tours, Portland, OR 97239
We pick up and drop off at select downtown Portland hotels.
Stop At: Silver Falls State Park, 20024 Silver Falls Hwy SE, Silverton, OR 97385-9758
People call it the “crown jewel” of the Oregon State Parks system, and once you visit, you know why. Silver Falls State Park is the kind of standout scenic treasure that puts Oregon firmly onto the national—and international—stage. Its beauty, boundless recreational opportunities and historic presence keep it there. Nestled in the foothills of Oregon’s Cascade Mountains, less than an hour east of the state capital of Salem, the sprawling 9,200 acre property is the largest state park in Oregon, and one of the most popular. You will be able to check out the famous South Falls and see what a 177-foot curtain of water looks like from behind. We will also visit North Falls and you will be able to walk behind it!
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Willamette Valley Vineyards, 8800 Enchanted Way SE, Turner, OR 97392-9580
After lunch (not included) we will take you out to a Willamette Valley Winery. The wine region in the Willamette Valley, which was once known for fruit orchards and nurseries has transformed into one of the country’s premier cool-climate varietal producers. The unique relationship between volcanic Jory soils, elevation and protective micro climates has consistently proven ideal for vineyards, and has produced Oregon’s top Pinot Noir for decades. Enjoy the wine at one of Oregon most renowned local vineyards.
Duration: 1 hour
No meals included on this day.
Accommodation included: Overnight in Eugene, Oregon
Day 2: Explore Crater Lake National Park
Stop At: Salt Creek Falls, Oakridge, OR
As we drive to Crater Lake we will stop at Salt Creek Falls which is Oregon’s second highest single drop waterfall, cascading 286 feet (87m). (Multnomah Falls is the highest.) This waterfall is also one of Southern Oregon’s most powerful falls, with an average yearly flow of 50,000 gallons per minute surging over the rocks.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Crater Lake National Park, OR
Upon arrival at Crater Lake we will spend half the day visiting all the incredible vistas, visitor centers, overlooks & Historic Lodge. Crater Lake has inspired people for thousands of years with some of the 1st Native Americans who discovered it’s beauty and mystic. No place else on earth combines a deep, pure lake, so blue in color; steep surrounding cliffs almost two thousand feet high; two unique picturesque islands; and a violent volcanic past. It is a place of immeasurable beauty and the Nations deepest lake over 1,900 ft deep.

Stop At: Smith Rock State Park, Highway 97 9 Mi. North, Redmond, OR 97760-9721
Next we will make a brief stop at Smith Rock State Park, which is one of the 7 Wonders of Oregon. Its towering rock spires have beckoned climbers from around the globe since the 1980’s. Today many other outdoor explorers have heard the call. Many believe that Smith Rock is named in honor of John Smith a Linn County lawman or Pvt. Volk Smith a soldier who fell to his death in the park during a battle with the Northern Paiute in 1863. The debate continues…
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Timberline Road, Timberline Lodge, OR 97028
Next stop Timberline Lodge! You won’t see anything else like it, anywhere. Legendary, awe-inspiring, a tribute to the rugged spirit of the Pacific Northwest.
