This post represents another installment in the series documenting our West Coast National Parks trip in the summer of 2017. Alan and I, along with our 18 year old daughter, Kyra, logged a total of 8,513 memorable miles of adventure over the course of five and a half weeks during the months of July and August.
The next stop on our West Coast National Parks trip was Crater Lake National Park. Our destination on this Day #22 was Griffin Park, a county park about 14 miles west of Grants Pass, Oregon, that would be our base camp for a visit to Crater Lake. Trip planning for this expedition was like working a jigsaw puzzle. There were quite a few irregularly shaped pieces that needed to be fit together to successfully complete the picture. From Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park campground, it was a straight shot to Grants Pass which was about an hour and a half to the northeast. But we had no intention of missing anything along the Oregon coast that had made the trip’s bucket list. So, back to Highway 101 it was for another jaunt up the coast on a circuitous route that would, eventually, deposit us at the campground in Griffin Park.
