쉬운 클래머스 카운티 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

Each year, Crater Lake closes the park to cars for the Ride the Rim event. Best time to visit. So amazing.

If you are only going to stop at one viewpoint at Crater Lake, this one is at the top of the list! The view of Wizard Island is one of the best you'll get.

This trailhead sits just at the east end of the lodge. Although the trail starts out as pavement, it won't be long until it becomes a solid footpath heading up Garfield Peak.

From the Watchman Overlook, you have a great view towards Wizard Island and Crater Lake itself. If you are willing to leave your bike for some minutes, this is also the starting point for the hike up to the Watchman, an old fire tower with a stunning panoramic view.

A wooden bridge will keep your feet dry when you cross Cascade Canal. It is just around the corner of the iconic Pacific Crest Trail and a nice water source, too.

While you hike through black fields of lava rock that came out of Brown Mountain and stroll over the reddish trail, look up to see majestic Mount McLoughlin, the southernmost solitary volcano in Oregon. There are trails leading up to the summit, if you are ambitious.

At the Rim Village, you will find the main visitor center for Crater Lake National Park with nice rangers who will equip you with information and maps for your trip around the lake. There are also restrooms (with water) available that are open even at night, a café and a small gift shop. At the other side of the road, you can enjoy a first and pretty nice view towards Wizard Island within Crater Lake.

This beautiful little gorge is well hidden behind Mazama Campground. A small stream, the Annie Creek, meanders through the rock walls with nice pillar-like formation that are still being shaped by erosion.
