We decided to take a shorter ride today from Crescent City, CA. to Medford, Oregon, but not before we had a heart to heart talk. I didn't feel well do to my cold and the cold weather, we considered staying another night but the room was not available. Riding north the weather has gotten colder, it has been unseasonably colder for the area: at least 15-20 degrees colder with some late spring snow. So the decision was to adjust our original plans and head more east but that is not easy to find a route that won't be going over higher elevations and colder weather.
Originally we planned to visit as many National Parks as we could. We were unable to go to Yosemite do to weather and roads still closed. Now Glacier in Montana is closed. Crater Lake has only limited access and roads may be snow covered.
But we still had a wonderful ride today through a mountain pass following the Smith River. Weather was partly cloudy in 40's and 54 degrees when we arrived at the hotel. The views were beautiful looking down at the river gorges through Grant's Pass then on to Medford, Oregon. We checked in to the hotel early and had an early dinner and time to plan our next ride, checking weather reports and road conditions.

I'm sorry you can't get to Crater Lake. You will just have to go back again.
