Randolph Collier Rest Area Off Interstate 5 in California State

Situated approximately 10 miles south of the {Oregon State} border, and just off 🛣 Interstate 5, is the 🚗 Randolph Collier Rest Area.

This is perhaps one of the prettiest roadside rest stops we have ever come across, in all our 🚌 road travels in the United States. So much so, it was definitely worth taking a few 📸 pictures of and posting this article to share with you.

The Randolph Collier Rest Area and is appropriately named after a {California State Senator}, for the Second District from – 1939 to 1966.

For those who followed along on our 🏜 Journey to Mexico, this was a Brief Stop on the third day of our 1800 mile venture South in our 🚌 Recreational Vehicle.

Making frequent stops in; Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona States and 🏜 Mexico.

I’ve put together a number of articles along with our personal 📸 photos and 📹 videos of our long journey south into 🏜 Mexico.

As well, I’ve included some helpful travel tips and suggestions that may come in handy for you and/or others you may know, that may be traveling down south at some point in time.

California Welcome Center

Complete with a wonderful 🏡 California State Welcome Center, this is definitely a {Must Stop} location, when traveling in either direction on the 🛣 I-5.

Especially so, if you have 🐶 pets that need walking as well during your stop.
