Crater Lake National Park

There's a reason this is a standout for so many visitors to central Oregon. Everywhere you look is picturesque and worthy of a postcard. They need to close the trail to the lake for a few years, but when it reopens, sign up for the boat tour. You'll see so much more. The home to the water is steep, but fairly smooth - not too rocky. Coming back up is a tough trek so take your time as needed and use the rest benches.

Absolutely Breathtaking! Crater Lake is truly one of the most stunning places I’ve ever visited. The views were absolutely breathtaking — deep blue water, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and lush forest. It almost didn’t look real! Every viewpoint around the rim offers a different, equally incredible perspective. The clarity of the lake and the peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect place to just take it all in. Whether you’re hiking, driving the rim, or just relaxing, it’s an unforgettable experience.

This is an amazingly beautiful national park. It does get very busy during peak season so go early in the day. There are many hiking trails for all abilities and they are well marked and maintained. Highly recommend.

This was a very beautiful place to visit. One side of the crater road is currently shut down do to road damage and they are working to get that fixed. The hikes are easy to access and well maintained. The visitor center was clean and everyone was super knowledgeable.

Photos just cannot explain the beauty of this place. It’s a must visit place. Lake is completely blue. Took the boat tour for wizard island and along with that saw some small waterfalls into this lake. It’s mesmerizing. Just beautiful.

Beautiful experience, but why doesn't the road go all the way around or did I miss it? 🤣🤷🏽‍♀️ Glad there was a place to grab a bite to eat and purchase souvenirs, review pending🤔, and plenty of spots to pull over for Kodak moments!

Crater Lake National Park is absolutely stunning! I came for the Crater Lake Rim Run originally signed up for the full marathon but it was canceled, so I ran the half instead. The elevation hit me since I arrived the day before, but the course and views made it worth it. I camped at Mazama Campground (great spot), ran 10 miles on the PCT the next day, and also hiked/ran the Union Peak Trail beautiful but not for anyone afraid of heights. I even got to take a dip in Crater Lake, the cleanest and most refreshing water I’ve ever been in. Highly recommend visiting, whether for running, hiking, or just soaking in the views!

Incredible and unique park. It is very remote when you go there and it makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere as you make your way into the park. The roads around the lake are not for the faint of heart but the viewpoints are beautiful. I went to several of the viewpoints and each different vantage point was unique in its own way. Its hard to get to but worth the trip!
