Bicycle Tour of Volcanic Scenic Byway

6 Days • 372 Miles • 33,000' Elevation Gain

On this bicycle tour explore the wonder and beauty of a dramatic volcanic landscape that stretches from Mount Lassen in California to Crater Lake in Oregon, making this America's Volcano to Volcano highway.

Along the way we explore volcanic parks, craggy mountain reaches and high-desert wetlands. This summer tour also climbs three dormant volcanoes - Lassen, Mount Shasta, and Crater Lake.

Once we reach Oregon, the Byway loops the incredible Crater Lake National Park. Enjoy cocktail hour at the historic Lodge with a roaring fire at your back and unparalled views of the lake! Because of the elevations we reach, this bicycle tour runs in August.
