Continuing north through magnificent countryside and old growth redwood trees. The Avenue of the Giants is a world-famous scenic drive along a 31-mile portion of old Highway 101, which parallels Freeway 101 with its 51,222 acres of redwood groves. It is by far the most outstanding display of these giant trees in the entire 500 mile redwood belt and is accessible to all with convenient services provided along the way. The Avenue of the Giants is surrounded by Humboldt Redwoods State Park which has the largest remaining stand of virgin redwoods in the world.

Crater Lake has long attracted the wonder and admiration of people all over the world. Its depth of 1,943 feet (592 meters) makes it the deepest lake in the United States and one of the deepest lakes in the world. Its fresh water is some of the clearest found anywhere in the world.The lake partly fills a nearly 2,148-foot (655 m) deep caldera that was formed around 7,700 (± 150) years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama. There are no rivers flowing into or out of the lake; the evaporation is compensated for by rain and snowfall at a rate such that the total amount of water is replaced every 250 years.

The Northern California Region of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club is planning an unforgettable National Driving Tour on June 3rd through June 7th, 2013. Under the leadership of Ed Gunther and Bob Fracolli, plans have been drafted with your driving pleasure and world class sight seeing in mind.

The tour will begin in the world-famous Wine Country of the Napa Valley. We will pass through ancient redwood forests, home to some of the biggest trees in the world, and continue north to the rugged Northern California coast.

From there,we’ll drive into Oregon to the Rogue River for a white-water jet boat tour and barbeque. Next, we will visit Crater Lake National Park, the deepest lake in the United States. Winding back into California along the base of the Cascade Range, we will come to the northern end of the Sacramento Valley. We will follow the Sacramento River through the valley, and then cross back to Napa.
