Fun, mysterious adventures!

Travel with me to both famous and obscure energy points in northern California, southern Oregon, and beyond. I customize every tour to your interests and abilities.

Rogue Valley:

Jackson Hot Springs

Soak in the healing mineral baths. Developed resort with camping, swimming pool, and saunas. Entrance fee. Closed Mondays.

Oregon Vortex

Feel the energies. See for yourself the "Shrink & Grow" phenomena. Open May through October. Entrance fee. Half an hour North of Medford. Easy walk. On a hillside.

Private locations depending on scheduling.

Summer: River sports. Winter: Snow skiing. Dan teaches beginner downhill skiing. Mt. Ashland is a non-profit ski area, relatively small, with steep runs and gorgeous views. Year round: wine tasting.

Umpqua Valley:

Volcanic Legacy

Waterfall Overload

From Table Rocks towering 800 feet over the Rogue River we drive to Toketee Hot Springs on the edge of the Umpqua River. Along the way we can easily visit numerous waterfalls among the dramatic volcanic landscape.

Upper & Lower Table Rocks

Two volcanic plateaus harbor rare and endangered plants and animals. Hike up through a whole range of ecosystems. Moderate to difficult hike. 800-foot gain in elevation.

The Umpqua River thunders through a narrow gorge and through a lava tube. Paved walkway.

FREE access to a minimally-developed hot springs with overnight camping. Visit the gushing fresh water springs just upstream from the campsites. Pay for parking.

Crater Lake

One of the 19 mountains and bodies of water that form a nearly perfect circle around the Grand Tetons. Oregon's only National Park. Check roads closures in winter.
Dan Shaw East of Crater Lake

High desert East of Crater Lake.

Oregon Redwoods

A very healing energy indeed. Spend time with these old friends.

Oregon Coast

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.

Shasta: Vortex Cluster

Mt. Shasta is located less than 5 hour's drive North of San Francisco, and a hour's drive South of Medford, Oregon. Nearest major airport: Medford (MFR). Airport pickup and dropoff is available by appointment.

Pluto's Cave

Absolutely full of orbs.

Ancient Stone Lines

Most of the features are on private property. Visible from roadways.

Mima Mounds

Visible from Interstate 5 in the region of the Weed Airport and Rest Stop.

Panther Meadow

Rest in the delicate meadow.

Shasta Summit Trail

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.

Lake Tahoe & Sierra Nevada Mountains

Unbelieveably blue, 12-mile-long alpine lake. In the area: Mt. Rose, the "positive electrode" paired with Lake Tahoe's "negative electrode." Historic Carson City. I've had a life-long relationship with Lake Tahoe. Winter: snow skiing. Summer: water skiing. Travel times: 1 hour from Reno airport (RNO). 4 hours from SFO. 6 hours from Medford.

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.
