Crater Lake, formerly known as Mazama before it blew its lid, it a great visit. The deep blue waters of this 1943 ft deep caldera is a sight to behold. If you visit the south rim you will be welcomed with stunning views, a tourist shop with a Cafe and great signage describing all aspects of the park history. Make sure you get to the overlook near the visitor station for some of the best views. There is a reconstructed hotel from 1923 for visitors who want to stay at the rim. We took the trolley car tour around the rim to take advantage of additional narrative the guide provided. Worth the 20 or so bucks. The park does have an admission of $30 per car. Check weather before making the journey to the park as the season is short.
A must see in Oregon...the bluest of blue...you will think your sunglasses are playing tricks on you.
This is the former name of this mountain before it blew its top, mt Mazama is gone and now it is a caldera called “crater lake” if you think about it, it should be called ‘caldera lake’ as that would be more geologically correct, but eh who cares at this point. The mountain will grow back after many many many eruptions from this volcano. The “Wizard island” cone is just the start of the great rebuilding of this volcano.
Grew up in Medford, and my family had yearly drives to Crater Lake. The lodge has recently been gutted and redesigned. The lodge shop is entertainment for those who need a nice comfortable place inside. The food has been good in the past, I haven't been able to go back to Crater Lake for years, but my own Children were there recently in winter, to show their own children what snow looks like,🥰 they loved it, but got cold and had to go inside to warm up and eat, and enjoyed themselves very much. There is something about Crater Lake in the winter, that makes you want to visit it again and again. Carry tire chains !!! and know how to put them on and take them off. Make sure your car's gas tank is filled, Dress for the Really Cold Elevation of this lake, and Huge Snowfall. Call Crater Lake National Park during the winter to make sure it is open, likewise, in the summer-- due to forest fire dangers. Honestly, you and your children will not regret a trip to Crater Lake, Oregon.
I have got two full gallon bags of ash from carter lake.We get a nice view too. It was ❤ at first sight.
