Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway

Description:

Volcanic features include Crater Lake National Park, wildlife, and a rich cultural history. These make the Volcanic Legacy Byway a spectacular adventure.

Directions:

The Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway begins in south-central Oregon about 5 1/2 hours south and east of Portland, Oregon. It can be reached via paved highways and freeways. Located about 80 miles east of the I-5 corridor, a one-hour drive will access the Byway from Medford, a two-hour drive will access the Byway from Roseburg, and a 2 1/2-hour drive will access the Byway from Eugene. All of these drives are on two-lane, paved highways.

The northern end of the Byway is the Diamond Lake Junction on US 97 about halfway between Bend and Klamath Falls.

The Byway continues through northern California, reaching the Oregon/California border via Highway 97, three miles north of the town of Dorris. From this point, you can choose to go east toward the Modoc section of the Byway, or south on the Shasta section, continuing to the Lassen section.
