I was instantly greeted with a smile and a welcome. A very attentive greeter was very willing to help with any information and questions. She let me know about the free literature and post cards too. Truthfully, I work in Gold Beach (6A-6P) and pass by this little visitor center twice a day. My curiosity got the best of me; I finally made a stop on a day off. Glad I did. No one has mentioned the ample parking and overflow parking. Also, a nice play area for the children. I like the short trail to the beach with clever matting as to not sink into the sand and/or bring sandy feet back to the car and/or visitor center.

We didn't find any on the beach but did bring home a few anyway. (If you find one on the beach you can bring in the tag and earn a ticket for a trip to Gold Beach.) The rules for the free ones were for each $25 you spend in a participating store you earned a free float as long as you brought a receipt to the visitors center. Also they have floats hidden in the local shops that you can get a ticket for if you find it. Turning the tickets in at the visitors center earns you a raffle ticket for $100. It was a great way to spend a rainy day and meet lots of fun shop owners!

AMAZING PLACE TO VISIT!!…read more During my first visit to Crescent City I also got to experience my first visits to the Redwood National & State Park. Day 1 - Jedediah Smith State Park & Stout Memorial Grove, and Day 2 - Mill Creek Trails & Grove of Titans. Mill Creek Trails & Grove of Titans was the best experience of the the trip as he walked and hiked through through the Trails surrounded by the dense forest all around us. The entire area was a beautiful site as we got to experience all of the enormous Giant Redwoods all around us. And the Grove of Giants was an absolute sight to see. Overall: Definitely a must see when in the local area, to experience an amazingly preserved part of California's coast and forest beauty.

This review is for the Watchman Peak Trail which was a ~1.7 miles round trip that took ~1 hours to…read morecomplete. This was a short and popular trail in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Trail starts off flat and becomes a steady incline towards the peak. Overall, it would be considered an easy hike. Unfortunately, the peak gets uncomfortably crowded with hikers. Limited parking spots with additional parking on the side of the West Rim Drive. A decent amount of people stop by at this Watchman Overlook because of the stunning views of Crater Lake. No restrooms at this location. The views at Watchman Peak are slightly different from the views at Garfield Peak. The small island is much closer to you on the Watchman Peak side. Short video of the hike for those interested! https://youtu.be/ksW77ALrOK0

What a beautiful national park!…read more Came here on a day where the weather changed between partly cloudy/sunny and snowy/rainy. The snowy surroundings created a nice contrast against the very deep blue color of the lake. In the early morning, it was very peaceful. There were not many people around, likely because of weather. The Steel Visitor Center's film was excellent to get a sense of the geology and history of the park. The lodge also offered an excellent meal with a partial view of the lake. Because of the snow, we were not able to go on the Rim Drive or hike the trails. I would imagine all the views would have been beautiful. The Cleetwood Cove trail down to the lake is closed for 3 summers, through 2028. If weather is of any question, the NPS website has up-to-date information about the weather, including webcams of several spots in the park.

Couldn't find anyone there, nobody picked up the phone either. We saw three other cars, including two families with children, pull up and leave disappointed, just in the 20 minutes we spent there. If your visitor center isn't even open on a Sunday afternoon, the biggest part of the week for tourism and recreation, then why have one at all? Tourists don't generally show up in town on Monday mornings, on a work day. They also organized a very poorly put-together geocaching tour, which I discovered was organized without official approval from geocaching.com. I finally got a hold of them a few days later, to try to get them to mail me the documents I needed from them. First of all, they were very nice, I'll give them that. They could probably show you a whole range of colorful brochures and perhaps even tell you about the attractions. That said, I'm not sure these women even live in the same century as we do. I simply could not explain to either of the two women there, no matter how simply I said it, that you can email documents to people. I highly doubt either had ever in fact seen email. When I said, in these exact words "Could you perhaps attach the documents to an email?" They said "Whoa, hold on, you're going to have to repeat that, I have no idea what you're talking about". Several more minutes of explaining the concept didn't help either. So they took down my name and address for a third person to look into it. I am not exaggerating when I tell you I had to spell my first name FOUR times. That's right: "Claire, C L A I R E, the common girl's name, Claire" "Sorry, what? Can you spell that again? "Claire, C L A I R E" "C L A R I...? Sorry, what is it?" "C L A I R E" "Okay, Clarie?" "No, the girl's name Claire, spelled the way you usually spell it, C L A I R E. Like Claire Huxtable." "Okay!" I then spelled out my email address, which has one word plus the name Claire. The next day they called me back: "Hi Clarie? The email didn't go through!" They had STILL MISPELLED CLAIRE. I facepalmed so hard. How is that even possible? *cry* I didn't bother a fifth time, so I gave them my husband's email address. His name is Rob. I'm amazed that email actually arrived. I feel bad complaining, because the ladies were nice (well the first two, the third who called me back wasn't terribly friendly), and they're volunteers I'm guessing, but honestly... most incompetent government agency in Oregon. And that says a lot. It's awesome that people are willing to volunteer, but a city the size of Roseburg simply needs to hire at least one professional to manage the visitor center and be present on site.
