• Historic Highway 66
  Route 66 is an iconic highway that passes through the heart of America, but Oregon has its own spectacular road that bears the same designation. Historic Highway 66, also known as the Green Springs Highway, follows a trail that extends thousands of years back into history. The alternate name is derived from Greensprings, an area of freshwater springs, green glades, and meadows through which the highway winds. Extending 59 miles from Klamath Falls to Ashland, Highway 66 affords stunning views of the Cascade-Siskyou National Monument. Other sights include historic buildings such as Green Springs Inn, Pinehurst School, and Box R Ranch.
