This trip has it all… mountains, lakes, river and ocean. This Lifeschool adventure begins by driving into beautiful Oregon and the Cascade mountain range visiting lots of interesting sites along the way. Discover the natural wonder of the extinct volcano of Crater Lake. You can't imagine how blue it is until you see it with your own eyes. We will then go deeper into the trails of the Three Sisters Wilderness area. Here we will backpack among 10,000 foot mountains, swim in crystal clear lakes and visit unique obsidian peaks. This are is one of the most beloved backpacking spots in all of Oregon. Learn and perfect primitive wilderness skills, and gaze at the stars in the clear mountain air. No long miles required! This trip is all about enjoying and exploring the natural area close at hand, often without the need of our packs.   Next shoot the class II and III rapids of beautiful McKenzie River for 2 whole days! Watch out for the big birds of prey that feed on the river's fish, play in the rapids, and get in tune with the mellow flow of the river. Camp at the river's edge and share stories of the journey over a roaring campfire. This trip has the possibility of also exploring Oregon's rugged coastline. Hike on sand dunes and explore the expansive beach before returning home. Oregon has a lot to offer and we do our best to hit everything.
