This is one of the most beautiful, awe inspiring places I have ever been. Do not miss the lodge. The deck is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the view. The only downside, if there is one, is the mosquitoes; take repellant.

Don't miss this gorgeous breathtaking drive around CRATER LAKE at this national park.........YOU cannot go all the way around unless you get there in JUNE through September because of 20 feet plus of snow....
Crater Lake is a beautiful national park. You can drive around the rim of the lake & get a view from every angle. Wizard Island sits in the lake! I prefer summertime at Crater Lake because winter is cold & snowy!
We packed a few folding chairs, plastic wine glasses, wine, food and patience. There are pull outs that allow you to simply sit and take in the view around the perimteter of the lake. I recommend this drive for those who simply need a shift in their thinking......

The Rim Drive has many pull-offs to take in the beauty of Crater Lake. Take advantage of each because there is a different aspect to see. Part of the Rim Drive was closed during our visit due to snow - didn't take away from the spots to view the lake.

Easy access, beautiful views, so fun to see snow in the summer! Can't wait to go back! It's wonderful that the park admission is good for 3 days.
