Outdoor adventure at Crater Lake
Outdoor activities take center stage here, and whether you're visiting in summer or winter, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the fruits of Mother Nature's labor. In the summer months, hiking, fishing and volcanic lake cruises, as well as visits to Wizard Island, are on the wish list of most travelers. As things turn cooler, ample snowfall in the area turns the focus on snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and sledding.

Volcanic views at Crater Lake
Nestled in Oregon's Cascade Mountains, Crater Lake National Park is home to the Rim Drive, an iconic road that circles the lake and offers views of the area's various volcanic formations, including the landmark Phantom Ship. On the southwestern lakeshore, the Rim Village Visitor Center offers a look at the history of the lake as well as a selection of ranger-led activities. Beyond the midnight-blue waters of the lake, old-growth conifers provide shelter to elk, black bears and spotted owls, all of which will likely feature on the must-see list of wildlife watchers.
