How to explore Southern Oregon's highway of waterfalls

Peak Northwest

If you find yourself traveling from Portland to Crater Lake National Park, consider taking a slightly longer, scenic route to enjoy the trip.

This week on Peak Northwest podcast, we talk about a few of the many highlights of Highway 138, lovingly known at Oregon’s highway of waterfalls. The stretch of roadway between Roseburg and Diamond Lake offers numerous stops, including not only waterfalls, but hot springs, riverside campgrounds and hikes with fascinating lava rock formations.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

• Toketee Falls is just as majestic in person as it is through photographs.
• Oregon’s third tallest waterfall includes a short hike to get up close and personal.
• Beautiful camping options.
• Drive a bit further to eat pizza at Diamond Lake.
