If you visit Crater Lake and have the time I recommend taking the boat tour. the only problem is the hike to the landing. It is about 1.1 miles one-way and descends anywhere from 700 to 900 feet depending on which guide you read. It took my wife and I 15 minutes to descend and 35 minutes to get back... more

Crater Lake is spectacular, lovely scenery. There is a spot where you can go down to the lake (where the boats are), but bring bug spray. The mosquitos were so thick we decided not to make the trek which is pretty steep, from what we heard. Also, make sure you make your reservations for the lodge at least a year... more

First of all, check if the north entrance is open. It was blocked when I went, which forced me to have to drive a long ways out of the way. It is open from late June to early September, depending on snow. Speaking of snow, there is a LOT of snow. On average, Crater Lake National Park gets about 40... more

I am originally from Oregon and have been to Crater Lake several times. I took my wife there when we were first married. She is from Malaysia...she really enjoyed the experience. It is amazing how blue the water is at times. more

It truly is a breathtaking landscape. There are many things to do around the rim of Crater Lake. You can hike, see waterfalls, take a drive around Rim Drive to go all the way around the lake and you can even hike down for a boat ride. The hike is a mile and somewhat strenuous. The water is so blue... more

I can only tell you that you should see this amazing place. Here's how. If you want to do it leisurely, plan well in advance and get a reservation at the Lodge... more

The Crater Lake Rim Drive is a 33 mile road around the perimeter of the lake. We spent most of the afternoon doing the drive stopping at the various lookouts along the way. The rim of the lake is steep so don't expect to sit on the beach at the edge of the lake. However this does mean that there... more

This is a truly beautiful place. The water of Crater Lake is so amazingly blue! The Rim Drive is such an enjoyable trip with many overlooks, each unique and worth stopping at. We packed a picnic lunch and found a nice overlook to pull over and enjoy our meal. Since the park road is only open for a few months... more

I really wish we had more time,... more
