to the hype)

Hangin' a day or two in Kennedy Meadows

Anywhere in the Sierra

Lone Pine (imho, worth a hitch or a drop down via
Cottonwood Pass or Trail Pass)...Dow Villa Motel is
great...Pizza Factory with outdoor misters spectacular
on a 100+ degree day.


Vermillion Valley Resort


Etna - great little town with old-fashioned soda
fountain in the drug store


Ashland - finally went there last year...loved it


Crater Lake - seriously beautiful


Ollalie Lake Resort - right off the trail...good tiny
porch to chill out and see Mt. Jefferson looming over
the lake.


Timberline Lodge - great breakfast buffet.


Eagle Creek Trail - definite don't miss stretch.  Keep
 eye out for Bigfoot.


Goat Rocks Wilderness
