À quoi s'attendre
1
Cleetwood Cove Trail
This 2-mile hike is steep and strenuous, but if you want to visit Crater Lake’s shore or take a ferry to Wizard Island, this is the spot to do it. Note: This 40+-mile-long tour covers the essentials of the Crater Lake National Park in 3-4 hours. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.
2
Rim Village
The government drew up designs to accommodate these new arrivals. The idea was to design a model ‘village’ that looked like a place people might actually live. Architects worked hard to blend the buildings in with the surrounding environment.
3
Pumice Castle
Mount Mazama didn’t just erupt once. Each minor eruption before the big one released lightweight volcanic rock full of gas bubbles. That’s pumice! This super porous rock is so light because it’s full of holes. Volcanoes like Mount Mazama create this unusual material when they put rocks under super high heat and super high pressure, then expel them at high speeds through the air during an eruption.
4
Wizard Island
You won’t find a boarding schools for wizardry and witchcraft on the island, though. Instead, it gets its name from the small peak on the island, which looks a bit like the pointy tip of a wizard’s hat!
5
Watchman Peak
A historic watchtower offering fantastic, unobstructed views of Crater Lake. This 2-mile trail is moderately difficult, with some rough terrain and elevation gain of 400 feet. It takes about an hour in total.
6
Merriam Point
Merriam Point, another great spot to see stunning views of the lake and its surroundings.
7
Cleetwood Cove Trail
This 2-mile hike is steep and strenuous, but if you want to visit Crater Lake’s shore or take a ferry to Wizard Island, this is the spot to do it. Just remember that it’s not just about descending 700 feet… You have to climb back up!
8
Sun Notch Trail
Just ahead is Sun Notch Trail, an easy half-mile loop that takes about 15-20 minutes total to hike. This hidden gem offers more great views of the Phantom Ship and the deep blue water of Chaski Bay right below us.
9
Vidae Falls
Now keep in mind that Crater Lake is 600 feet below us. So where does the water come from to feed this waterfall? It’s actually a spring fed by seasonal snowmelt and rainfall! That means the falls are most powerful in spring and early summer, and slow later on.

Crater Lake is not to be missed. Absolutely stunning! The self guided tour was informative. The only thing that was difficult is you had to start it at the opposite end of where we entered the park seeing as we were coming from Bend. So if we wanted to start at the beginning we had to drive it one and a half times.
