This diverse All-American Road skirts lakes and wetlands, traverses ranches and croplands and takes you to "the top of the world" on the rim of Crater Lake. View evergreen forests that stretch for miles, lava cliffs, and wildflowers. You can also visit wildlife and waterfowl refuges and "drive the flyway."
