Crater Lake National Park

The purest, cleanest water imaginable.

Fed by abundant snowfall, Crater Lake is now filled with some of the purest, cleanest lake water imaginable. A nearly 2,000-foot deep caldera was all that remained after a devastating volcanic implosion of Mount Manama. Vivid blue water rests in the remains of a hollowed-out volcano.

3 days exploring Crater Lake National Park with an amazing group of 18! Wow – I have never felt so blessed to be surrounding with so much love and laughter – enjoying every minute of our time together!

A few of our favorites

Hike the Cleetwood Cove Trail to swim at Crater Lake
This is an absolute MUST do!

Rim Drive
A 33 mile road around Crater Lake with 7 “must see” viewpoints. Make sure to have lunch at one of the picnic spots.

Keep an eye out for Old Man
Hint: It’s a floating hemlock stump

Discovery Point
Walk along the lake rim

Backpack on Pacific Crest Trail
We did not do this, but definitely will the next time we visit!

Dry Creek Store
There are no restaurants, so all food must be prepared by cooking at your campsite. This store is amazing and within walking distance and they have everything you could ever need!

Umpqua’s Last Resort
I can’t say enough wonderful things about the staff, location and lodging at the resort! Staying in the Tiny Home was fabulous. It’s only a 45 min drive to Crater Lake National Park and lots of waterfalls along the way to explore!
