Most of the long-distance hikers along the Pacific Crest Trail decide to hike along the rim of Crater Lake which is technically an alternate option. At this junction, the original route of the Pacific Crest Trail and the alternate meet again. There are some flat spots to pitch a tent in the area. Crater Lake Highway just a few yards from here might have trail magic and a water cache.
