Modoc Volcanic Scenic Byway

This is an ideal half-day trip for those looking to explore Californias volcanic region. In 120 miles, you will get to see the lunar landscapes that date back thousands of years, at notable parks and attractions like Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Lava Beds National Monument, and even parts of the Modoc National Forest. You can also make a stopover at Medicine Lake, which is actually a prehistoric shield volcano that is the largest volcano in the entire Cascade Range. Although it is still considered active, it has not erupted in over 1,000 years.
