By Kimberly Merryman<\/span><\/h4>\n

I love the drive from my home in California to visit family in Colorado every summer. The stretch through Utah is especially beautiful, and I look forward to my regular stops throughout the state. However, in the last couple of years, as my dog has aged, he has become less tolerant of the heat on the usual route through Nevada and Utah.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, <\/span>I decided to grab an <\/span>Escape Campervan<\/span><\/a>, and take a scenic road trip from San Francisco to Bend, <\/span>Oregon, <\/span>and Idaho, then to northern Utah, and finally to Colorado.\u00a0 <\/span>My goal was to find<\/span> more northern latitudes <\/span>that might<\/span> result in more pleasant temperatures. While I didn\u2019t totally avoid the heat, I made some unforgettable discoveries while adventuring in new places.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first stretch of <\/span>my scenic route from San Francisco to Bend<\/span> would make a great trip on its own, <\/span>from either the<\/span> Portland<\/span><\/a> camper van rental location or <\/span>San Francisco<\/span><\/a> camper van rental location. Check out my top recommended stops in northern California and Oregon\u2014from lake swimming and big views on the trails in California\u2019s Shasta-Trinity National Forest to iconic Crater Lake National Park and on to wildflower meadows below Mount Bachelor in Oregon\u2019s Deschutes National Forest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":28882,"id":28882,"title":"mt-shasta-from-the-pct","filename":"mt-shasta-from-the-pct-scaled.jpg","filesize":1048499,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mt-shasta-from-the-pct-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/en-gb\/blog\/take-scenic-road-trip-san-francisco-bend-oregon\/mt-shasta-from-the-pct\/","alt":"Dog on trail at Mount Shasta","author":"53","description":"","caption":"","name":"mt-shasta-from-the-pct","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":28866,"date":"2021-01-14 14:11:53","modified":"2021-01-14 14:18:54","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mt-shasta-from-the-pct-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mt-shasta-from-the-pct-300x225.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mt-shasta-from-the-pct-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mt-shasta-from-the-pct-1024x768.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mt-shasta-from-the-pct-1536x1152.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1152,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mt-shasta-from-the-pct-2048x1536.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1536,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mt-shasta-from-the-pct-600x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":600,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mt-shasta-from-the-pct-1200x900.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":1200,"post-thumbnail-height":900,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mt-shasta-from-the-pct-scaled.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":225,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mt-shasta-from-the-pct-scaled.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":300,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/mt-shasta-from-the-pct-scaled.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":450}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"

First Stop: The Shasta-Trinity National Forest in California<\/b><\/h2>\n

Camping at Shasta Trinity National Forest<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

I stayed four nights in one of a handful of the free, dispersed campsites along Road 26 through the Shasta-Trinity National Forest in far northern California. My spot was about 20 minutes from the funky town of Mt. Shasta and right on the South Fork of the Sacramento River.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Complete with plenty of shade and a <\/span>swimming hole, sites like these are often<\/span> easy to find on the iOverlander app. You could also check Castle Lake Campground or Gumboot Lake Campground nearby\u2014both are free, but they fill up on summer weekends.<\/span><\/p>\n

TIP<\/span><\/i>: Don\u2019t forget to bring your own water unless you reserved a site at a campground with potable water. There is no access to potable water at any of the above-mentioned campsites.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Hiking at Shasta Trinity National Forest<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

Just a few miles up Road 26 from camp, I parked at the Gumboot Trailhead and headed south on the famous Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) toward the Seven Lakes Basin. The Seven Lakes Basin hike is a 6-mile (round trip) trek of mild to moderate hiking difficulty with stunning views of prominent peaks and forested lake basins, <\/span>that lead<\/span> to a chain of small lakes.\u00a0 My dog and I were overjoyed to take a dip and eat our PB&J tortillas on a quiet shore midway through the hike on a hot day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another option <\/span>during a scenic road trip from San Francisco to Bend<\/span> is to head north on the PCT from the same trailhead to hike a little over 12 miles to Porcupine and Toad Lakes. This hike is longer than Seven Lakes Basin and it takes longer to get to some water, but it\u2019s an easier hike and has great views.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TIP<\/span><\/i>: If you don\u2019t have a GPS device with you, grab a detailed hiking map from one of the shops in the town of Mt. Shasta. I found myself somewhat lost a couple of times due to fallen trees or lack of signage, and cell service in the area is spotty.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Eating at Shasta Trinity National Forest<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

I enjoyed my standard camp meals of mac and cheese with broccoli and pesto angel hair pasta while camping here. But I couldn\u2019t head out of the area without stopping at <\/span>Yak\u2019s<\/span><\/a> in Mt. Shasta for their Shasta Veggie breakfast burrito and an iced coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":28867,"id":28867,"title":"crater-lake-rim-trail","filename":"crater-lake-rim-trail-scaled.jpg","filesize":889652,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/crater-lake-rim-trail-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/en-gb\/blog\/take-scenic-road-trip-san-francisco-bend-oregon\/crater-lake-rim-trail\/","alt":"View of Crater Lake","author":"53","description":"","caption":"","name":"crater-lake-rim-trail","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":28866,"date":"2021-01-14 14:11:18","modified":"2021-01-14 14:18:54","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/crater-lake-rim-trail-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/crater-lake-rim-trail-300x225.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/crater-lake-rim-trail-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/crater-lake-rim-trail-1024x768.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/crater-lake-rim-trail-1536x1152.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1152,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/crater-lake-rim-trail-2048x1536.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1536,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/crater-lake-rim-trail-600x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":600,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/crater-lake-rim-trail-1200x900.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":1200,"post-thumbnail-height":900,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/crater-lake-rim-trail-scaled.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":225,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/crater-lake-rim-trail-scaled.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":300,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/crater-lake-rim-trail-scaled.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":450}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"

Next, Spend Some Time at Crater Lake National Park<\/b><\/h2>\n

Camping at Crater Lake National Park<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

I didn\u2019t end up camping here, as the only sites left weren\u2019t shady enough for my hot, old dog, but Crater Lake does have two campgrounds with bathrooms. They are open only during <\/span>the summer<\/span> months, and many of the sites are first-come, first-served. If you plan to go in July, August, or September, I recommend reserving a site ahead of time. Be sure to check the <\/span>park\u2019s website<\/span><\/a> for updated information about closures before you go.<\/span><\/p>\n

What You Can See at Crater Lake National Park<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the US which also sits inside a dormant volcano crater, is unlike any lake I\u2019ve ever seen. Since I had the doggo with me, I was only able to walk the paved path around the rim of the lake, but it was inspiring. (<\/span>TIP<\/span>: Dogs aren\u2019t allowed on most trails in US National Parks.) The short, easy walk offered a variety of views of the surrounding landscapes perfectly reflected in the deep blue of the lake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you only have humans in your group, check with a park ranger or grab a map from one of the visitor centers in the park for information on several hikes in the park.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":28877,"id":28877,"title":"marvel-south-campground-oregon","filename":"marvel-south-campground-oregon-scaled.jpg","filesize":1152424,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/marvel-south-campground-oregon-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/en-gb\/blog\/take-scenic-road-trip-san-francisco-bend-oregon\/marvel-south-campground-oregon\/","alt":"Camper van at Marvel South Campground","author":"53","description":"","caption":"","name":"marvel-south-campground-oregon","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":28866,"date":"2021-01-14 14:11:41","modified":"2021-01-14 14:18:54","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/marvel-south-campground-oregon-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/marvel-south-campground-oregon-300x225.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/marvel-south-campground-oregon-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/marvel-south-campground-oregon-1024x768.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/marvel-south-campground-oregon-1536x1152.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1152,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/marvel-south-campground-oregon-2048x1536.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1536,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/marvel-south-campground-oregon-600x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":600,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/marvel-south-campground-oregon-1200x900.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":1200,"post-thumbnail-height":900,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/marvel-south-campground-oregon-scaled.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":225,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/marvel-south-campground-oregon-scaled.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":300,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/marvel-south-campground-oregon-scaled.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":450}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"

Finally, Don\u2019t Forget to Stay at Cascade Lakes\/Deschutes National Forest, Oregon<\/b><\/h2>\n

Camping at Cascade Lakes<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

Before leaving Crater Lake, I picked out potential campsites on iOverlander along the route to Bend, Oregon, and headed in that general direction. I found myself on the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway in Deschutes National Forest, a 66-mile route looping several lakes and Mount Bachelor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The byway was full of national forest campgrounds, many of which are reservable online. While they were mostly occupied since it was evening when I arrived, a few spots were available at <\/span>South Campground<\/span><\/a>, about a mile off the byway nestled among lodgepole pines next to quiet Hosmer Lake. My site had a c-shaped driveway and a little path down a small hill to a picnic table and fire ring from which I ate my veggie stir fry and watched the sky at the edges of Mount Bachelor glow pink as the sunset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hiking at Cascade Lakes<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

There are several trailheads with hikes of varying lengths and difficulties along the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway. I opted for an easy hike with great views on my way out of the forest toward Bend. Todd Lakes Loop is just under 2 miles and has very little elevation change. It does just what the name implies\u2014it loops T<\/span>odd Lake!\u00a0 It also <\/span>includes a forested trail as well as a meadow of wildflowers with a view of Mount Bachelor beyond it and boardwalks over the muddier parts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can make the hike a little longer and get a little more of a workout with a 0.8-mile side trail up to a viewpoint of the lake. It was a perfect morning excursion before continuing <\/span>on my scenic route from San Francisco to Bend<\/span> to stock up on groceries and find some good coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n
