Great views of Crater Lake and the Klamath basin.
Zigzaggy trail, gradual ascent, slippery scree descending.
Take lots of water.

Beautiful walk while constantly under the watchful eye of the remnant lake of the great Mt. Mazama caldera.

Beautiful views. It’s early June and trails are covered in deep snow so without snow shoes you can only do the rim road hike. It is closed to cars so very safe to hike

Beautiful views! We wore layers & gratefully so. The windchill towards the top was freakin cold. We were happy to have the trail map because the snow hid a lot of the trail.

Slept at Annie Spring Snow Park before the trip. Went clockwise starting at 7am. Pack weight: 20 lbs. Brought 2.5 liters of water and was able to stretch that out so didn’t need to melt snow for water. 14 hrs would provide a little more resting time. Equipment worked great apart from bindings not easily locking in.

A nice most forested trail culminating in a steep climb to the top of Crater Peak. Smoke obscured much of our trip but cleared out to give nice views at sunset. We were primarily using it as a dispersed backpacking campsite, but it was a pleasant hike as well, and we had it all to ourselves for the night.

Our favorite hike at crater lake. Took us 25 minutes down at 32 minutes up, this was with carrying a 3yo and a 6m old. We spent an hour and a half at the base swimming, jumping and having lunch. It was crowded but worth it.

Epic! That’s the only way to describe a blue bird day. Only two other hikers not on the peak.. and time to reflect on the #cascadeconquest! Wow. Perfect end of Part Uno.. this trip to the top isn’t for some that are faint of heights.. there’s one class two scramble around a ledge at about 7100 feet.. the rest is great! Don’t forget to find the second marker two and the fulgrite where the lightning 🌩 did it’s business!

An amazing hike in Crater Lake NP.
Sweeping vistas and an incredible view of the lake. A must do if you have 2.5 hours for the round trip.

Beautiful hike overlooking Crater Lake. Fairly steep ascent but a good trail. Awesome panoramic view from the top.
