At a meeting conducted by the Travel Information Council for the Oregon Department of Transportation, Pat McMillan, Director of the Klamath County Museum and Klamath County Tourism and Convention Bureau, and Christina Lilienthal, Landscape Architect for Winema National Forest, agreed to investigate the possibility of a Scenic Byway in Klamath County. The original concept was two scenic loops originating in Klamath Falls; one going south to include the National Wildlife Refuge and Lava Beds National Monument and one going north around Upper Klamath Lake with an option to take in Crater Lake National Park. With further discussion and exploration, the scenic byway concept evolved into a linear route that would connect Crater Lake National Park and Lassen Volcanic National Park via the Klamath Basin. This route gained enthusiastic support from Oregon Department of Transportation, U.S. National Forest Service and local representatives. The process of developing the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway involved numerous individuals, agencies and organizations from Oregon and California. The work began under the auspices of the Klamath-Modoc-Lake Recreation Working Group which collaborates on recreation and tourism opportunities in the Klamath Basin. Public Steering Committee meetings were held regularly and attended by representatives from both states. Christina Lilienthal and Pat McMillan continued to spearhead the byway effort in Oregon. The Oregon-California Resource Conservation & Development Council agreed to initiate building community and political support for the scenic byway in California. Community meetings were conducted in Fort Klamath, Chiloquin and Weed, California to gather input from those living on or near the route. The meetings were well attended and resulted in lively discussion and endorsement of the byway proposal. Continued broad-based involvement in both states carried the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway from its initial conception to this management plan. Some of the people involved in the evolution of the Scenic Byway proposal are: Craig Dorman, Terry Hams and Gary Hathaway, Lava Beds National Monument; Larry Swan, Klamath-Lake-Modoc-Outdoor Recreation Working Group; Dave Henzel and Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway Management Plan 1 Jean Elsner, Klamath County Commissioners; Jim Carpenter, Citizen, Wingwatchers; Dave Menke, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Tulelake, CA; Alice Kilham, citizen, Co-Chair of the Hatfield Committee; Ralph Opp, Oregon Eagle Foundation, Wingwatchers; Randy Sharp and Bernie Weisgerber, Modoc National Forest; Pat McMillan, Klamath County Visitor and Convention Bureau and Director of the Klamath County Museum; Jan Bidegary, citizen, Running Y Resort; Joe McBride, citizen; Terry Anthony and Trey Sem, Klarnath Economic Development; and Christina Lilienthal, Craig Miller and Jerry Haugen, Winema National Forest; Lynn Schonchin, Jr., Klamath Tribes; Randy Bednar, ODOT - Klamath Falls Jim Beauchemin, Collier State Park; Dick Richards, CALTRANS; Jim Vancura and Joe Riker, ORE-CAL RC&D and City of Klamath falls; Merle Anderson, Siskiyou County Economic Development Council; JoAnn Rucker, Shasta Wonderland Association and Siskiyou County Visitors Bureau; Dennis Nelson, Klamath County Public Works, George Buckingham, Crater Lake National Park; and Jill Colembaro and Margaret Dean, Weed, CA. DESCRIPTION OF ROUTE The Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway begins at the dramatic scenery and natural history of Crater Lake and runs south through the heart of the Klamath Basin before crossing the California border and continuing through the magnificent Lava Beds National Monument, the historic lands of the Modoc Indian War, the mountains and rugged canyons of Modoc National Forest to its termination at Lassen Volcanic National Park. This scenic byway combines the grandeur of volcanic formations, the tranquil appeal of wildlife refuges and the fascination of cultural and natural history. The 33-mile Crater I.ake Rim Drive provides motorists with breathtaking views of Crater Lake and nature's cataclysmic force from scenic viewpoints, picnicking spots and hiking trails. The Scenic Byway joins Highway 62 at the south entrance to Crater Lake National Park md descends through pine forests to the tranquil pasture land that surrounds Fort Klamath. Following West Side Road south, the Byway climbs into the forests of the Winema National Forest. As the drive meanders through peaceful forest and pasture land, it provides delightful views of the Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge and Upper Klamath Lake which are home to bald eagles, white pelicans and sandhill cranes. These majestic birds can be observed easily from the road. At Highway 140 the byway heads southeast along the Upper Klamath Lake to the intersection with Highway 97 at the southern boundary of Klamath Falls. After passing through residential and industrial areas, the byway again opens into the spacious basin of the Lower Klamath and Bear Valley National Wildlife Refuges before reaching the California border. Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway Management Plan In California, State Line Road carries the byway east along the OregodCalifornia border to Hill Road and the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge and impressive Lava Beds National Monument. From Tule Lake, the byway follows the U.S. Forest Service's Modoc National Scenic Byway along National Forest Road 49 past the popular recreational area of Medicine Lake. The byway cuts west to Little Mt. Hoffman Lookout on National Forest Road 15 and continues through the unique volcanic landscape of the Medicine Lakes Highland to the town of Bartle, CA. Hwy 89 carries the byway to the Lassen Scenic Byway and it's termination point in spectacular Lassen Volcanic National Park. VISITOR SERVICES The Oregon portion of the Volcanic Legacy Scenic

  • Wilderness Permit System Implementation Frequently Asked Que Stions
    WILDERNESS PERMIT SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION FREQUENTLY ASKED QUE STIONS When are permits required? The Deschutes and Willamette NFs are implementing a wilderness permit system for the Mt. Jefferson, Mt Washington and Three Sisters wildernesses this year. In 2020 the season for wilderness permits will begin on May 22nd and end on September 25th. Every year the season will be from the Friday prior to Memorial Day to the last Friday in September. How do people get permits? All reservations for a limited entry permit need to be made through Recreation.gov either on-line, by calling, or by doing the reservation at one of the Willamette and Deschutes National Forests’ offices. We want to encourage people to take advantage of getting permits online – “go on-line, don’t stand in line.” Reservations for limited entry permits will open on Tuesday, April 7th at 7:00 a.m. Every year permit reservations will be available beginning the first Tuesday in April. There is a $1.00 processing charge for day-use permits per individual and a $6.00 processing charge for overnight-use permits per group. An overnight group can be from 1 to 12 people. The processing charge funds the operation of the reservation system, like processing charges for tickets through Ticketmaster or other reservation systems. Other than the processing fee, there are no other additional costs/fees associated with the limited entry permit. However, people should be aware that if a NW Forest Pass or day use permit is required at a trailhead, the wilderness permit does not cover that requirement.

Moreover, the Big Ideas of the Earth Science Literacy Initiative can be used within signage to address literacy. Because all citizens should have a basic knowledge of Earth Science in order to make informed decisions that relate to Earth Science, geotourism can be used as a way to increase Earth Science knowledge, along with other positive outcomes related to communities' increased well-being.
