Hike Summary: This is blocked off certain times of the year and dates can change depending on the weather so check before you drive all the way out there!! But when you go, you will love it. There are alot of things to hike out there but just to enjoy Crater Lake it is a short trail. It’s known for its namesake Crater Lake, formed by the now-collapsed volcano, Mount Mazama. The views and air are just amazing and the water is so clean and clear and we plan to keep it that way. It is one of the 7 wonders of Oregon and is one you do not want to miss!!!! Go with friends, family and get those photos for memories you won't forget. It is just WOW factor all over. Google photos if you are not familiar with its beauty and you will soon have to go!
