As the oceanic plate slides under the continental plate, extreme pressures folds rocks.
Between Grants Pass, Oregon, and the coast, many exquisite side-trips beckon us. Eight Dollar Mountain features a easy boardwalk to view rare carnivorous plants. Take a dip nearby in the incredibly green Smith River.
My wife and I love to visit the Smith River.
Walk barefoot in the sand and surf. Breathe the electric air. Watch the Sun set over the Pacific.

Extremely difficult climb. At the summit there's a hot spring where John Muir spent a night, boiling on one side, freezing on the other.
The Shasta Vortex Field Guide, by Dan Shaw, describes 20 Shasta Vortex points in detail.

San Francisco
I was born & raised in the SF area and I know many sweet vortex spots in that area. You might prefer to start your tour in San Francisco. Fly in to SFO airport (or Oakland) and start your trip from there. I can provide airport pickup.
Themed Tours:
Cowboys & Indians
Visit famous sites of American history, go to a rodeo, shop for authentic Western wear & gear. Visit with Native Elders. Shop for crafts from certified Native artisans.
Mining Towns
Visit historic mining towns. Pan for placer gold in scenic creeks and rivers. Gold and silver deposits create a unique vortex energy.
Montana Vortex Tour Guide
Dan led tours at the Montana Vortex for 3 seasons. In this series of photos you can compare the apparently changing height of the people when they stand on either side of a perfectly level platform.
Travel, Lodging & Meals
I'm available to provide tours whenever you'd like to come to the Pacific Northwest, or any other destination. I don't have any pre-arrangements, but instead, we can talk about your precise hopes and dreams for a once-in-a-lifetime visit. You'll arrange your own travel to the region. Since I'm in the immediate vicinity of the Medford, Oregon airport (MFR), the Rogue Valley makes an ideal starting point for some itineraries. You might prefer to start your tour at Portland or San Francisco (SFO), and I can provide airport pickup there as well. From the airport we pick up a rental vehicle with one or more of us as drivers.
How many days are you thinking of? One at the coast & redwoods, one at Crater Lake, one at Shasta, one Tahoe? or more/other days and places? Because of the leisurely, meditative nature of vortex tours, I highly recommend one or more "down" non-travel days, too. As your guide I'm here to provide any and all support services to make your trip more safe, comfortable, and enjoyable. Let me know what arrangements you'd like made for food: special dietary needs? What types of accommodation do you prefer? Simple or elegant?
Depending on the exact nature of my work, the fee varies. We have options. As your guest along the way (at hotels and meals) then I do my vortex tours by donation. As your host, I like to receive around $200 / day. I'm open to negotiation. That price includes a full set of my e-books & two EarthStar globes.
Tour van with professional driver available by arrangement.
