Why Crater Lake, Oregon?
Crater Lake National Park is Oregon’s only national park and home to the deepest lake in the USA – famous for its unbelievably blue water and volcanic Wizard Island. Your days off can be filled with hiking the Garfield Peak Trail, cycling the 33-mile Rim Drive, spotting deer and eagles, stargazing under some of the darkest skies in the country, and swimming at Cleetwood Cove. Portland, Bend, the Oregon coast and even California’s Redwoods are all within reach for weekend and end-of-season travel.
