One of the worthy alternates to the part between Crater Lake and Mt. 
Thielsen takes you to the headwaters of the Rogue River.  This is an 
amazing spot.  Within a hundred yards the river leaps fully-mature from 
a bunch of springs.  It is totally unique...  Unfortunately this takes 
you to Diamond Lake and you miss the traverse of Mt. Thielsen. 

Jeff, just Jeff...
