Welcome to the
Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway All American Road. Along this 500 mile
journey from volcano to volcano you will find opportunities for adventure,
exploration, communion with nature and an appreciation for the culture
and history of the region. You will also find residents eager to share
the beauty and mystery of this land that is dotted with evidence of an
eruptive past.
The southern end of the byway begins at California's Lake Almanor,
just miles from the active geothermal features at Lassen Volcanic National
Park. The northern end of the byway is capped by Crater Lake National
Park in Oregon where mysteries of the earth's interior are studied.
Along the Byway you will see fantastic sites - the slopes of Mount Shasta
jutting above the valley floor to the summit at 14,162 feet, curtains
of water showering over basalt cliffs at McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial
State Park, and lands riddled with remains of underground magma conduits
at Lava Beds National Monument.
