RV Out West

Fire and Ice: Exploring Oregon’s Volcanoes


Listen Later

Join us as we continue the Fire and Ice adventure in the Pacific Northwest in this part two of our two-part mini-series, we leave the glacier-covered volcanoes of Washington behind and cross into Oregon to explore some of the most spectacular volcanic landscapes in the region. If you missed part one, we highly recommend going back and listening to episode 188, as we explored Washington’s iconic peaks. That episode set the stage for this next leg of the journey as we continue traveling south along the Cascade Range.

In this episode, we dive into Oregon’s dramatic volcanic terrain, starting with the towering presence of Mount Hood, the state’s tallest peak and one of the most recognizable mountains in the Pacific Northwest. From there, we explore the fascinating lava fields, calderas, and rugged backcountry of Newberry Volcano, a massive volcanic complex that offers incredible hiking, and interesting geological features.

Our journey culminates at one of America’s most breathtaking national parks: Crater Lake National Park. Formed by the collapse of an ancient volcano thousands of years ago, Crater Lake is famous for its deep sapphire-blue water and dramatic cliffs.

Along the way we share RV travel tips, hiking trails, and the campgrounds to make for your basecamp all to help you plan your own Pacific Northwest road trip. RVers, campers, hikers, and road-trip enthusiasts alike will find plenty of inspiration in this episode for planning their next adventure through Oregon’s incredible Fire and Ice landscape.
