Saturday Snapshot: California & Southern Oregon National Parks
Book By Book
Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Melinda at West Metro Mommy Reads.
After a brief hiatus, I am finally getting back to my National Park photo series. I think this will be my last National Park post for a while because I have covered all of the parks we have visited across the U.S.! Click on the link to see the rest of the photos.
So, this week is devoted to the far West – California and Southern Oregon. Though we usually take long road trips, that year – the summer before our oldest son’s senior year of high school – we decided to go all out and fly out to California for an extra-special trip. We used my aunt’s house in Sacramento as our home base and spent the first week heading north into southern Oregon, where we visited Crater Lake National Park and Lassen Volcano National Park. I have no photos from Lassen because the park was still closed due to snow – in late June! – so we didn’t see anything past the entrance and a huge field of snow. As you’ll see from my photos of Crater Lake, there was still a LOT of snow around. They’d gotten over 60 feet of snow that winter, and when we visited in late June, they still had over 40 feet of snow and had only cleared 1 mile of the park road around Crater Lake!
For our second week, we rented a small RV and visited the National Parks in central California: Yosemite, Sequoia, and King’s Canyon. King’s Canyon doesn’t get much attention, but it is a beautiful park. We spent our last week in San Francisco and driving down the coast along Route 1 (no National Parks in that portion of the trip).
So, here are a few photo highlights of the National Parks we visited in California and southern Oregon:
