Crater Lake and Crater Lake Rim Village at Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake National Park is a United States National Park located in southern Oregon, whose primary feature is Crater Lake. This National Park was established on May 22, 1902, and it is the sixth oldest National Park in the U.S. This park encompasses the Crater Lake caldera, which rests in the remains of a destroyed volcano (eventually named Mount Mazama) and the surrounding forestland and hills.

Nature Lover in Oregon-Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, USA-Visit September 2016
This video is a visual account of my visit to Crater Lake National Park, which is the only National Park in Oregon, U.S.A. Along with my husband and son, we travelled by car from Portland via Bend, Oregon to reach the National Park.
With a depth of 1,943 feet, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States - and one of the most beautiful. The water's intense blue color is an indication of its great depth and purity. Surrounded by cliffs, the lake is fed entirely by rain and snow. Scientists consider Crater Lake to be the cleanest and clearest large body of water in the world.
Crater Lake itself occupies less than 10% of the park. Beyond the lake, old-growth forests blanket the landscape. Established in 1902, the park protects 15 species of conifers, from towering ponderosa pines to ancient whitebark pines. These trees shelter a wide array of wildlife, including black bears, mountain lions, elk, and spotted owls.
Crater Lake rests in the belly of a dormant volcano. The volcano once stood 12,000 feet tall, but it collapsed after a major eruption 7,700 years ago. Later eruptions formed Wizard Island, a cinder cone that rises from the water. The park has an abundance of fascinating volcanic features, including a second rocky island, the Phantom Ship.
Climbing up the rim of the lake on the Garfield trek, were many tourists. Selfies and photographs at scenic spots brought smiles on. We also saw a human made pile of stones (cairn) used as a trail marker as we reached the top. After witnessing a fabulous sunset on the Lake, we drove back to Portland as the rising moon led the way.
Crater Lake National Park and neighboring national forest lands are constantly threatened by logging, mining and development interest groups.
The rainforest site has started a petition to encourage Oregon's elected officials to protect Crater Lake's integrity by keeping it wild. Please sign the petition

Rim Drive Tour, Crater Lake National Park
It's a rare treat to drive the entire circle around Crater Lake -- the road is only open for a few months out of the year. This drive takes you around the entire loop, and lets you see the view from most of the best viewpoints.
Want to see the rear-view?
You may notice the views are somewhat hazy. My visit in August, 2015, happened while a large wildfire was burning near the park's north entrance. Sunny days are usually more clear than this!
MyDrivelapse.com and Takemytrip.com provide driving videos and stories to help you plan your trip. Check out hundreds of videos on my YouTube channel. Subscribe if you like it! Dozens of new videos are on the way in the coming weeks.
I made this trip in August, 2015. Video shot with a Brinno TLC-200 Pro time-lapse camera, mounted on my roof with a homemade magnetic case.

Crater Lake National Park, Oregon Ruff Road Review
We visited the deepest lake in the United States! Also, it is one of the most purest bodies of water in the world! What is this place? It's Crater Lake National Park. Crater Lake is in southern Oregon and was created from a volcanic eruption 7,700 years ago. It's purity rating is due to no inflow from streams. It is fed by rain and snow. The water is deep blue, clear, and cold. It is hands down one of the most awe inspiring places that we've seen.
We arrived at Crater Lake's very crowded Rim Village to meet family in July. The drive there is 38 miles from Collier Memorial State Park where we were staying. After the hellos and hugs, we walked around the area and got our first look at the blue, blue water of Crater Lake. Then we headed off to drive the Rim Drive.
Along the drive, which circles Crater Lake, there are many scenic pull off areas. Some of these areas have short trails or viewing decks to get different vantage points. Even though it was the fourth of July weekend, we were able to find parking places along the pull outs and see what we wanted to see. There was still snow on the ground here and there which made for some fun snow play. We were here three years ago and there was snow everywhere. In fact, it was snowing. That was June. So heads up, if you are planning a summer trip, know that May and June can have snow that could affect your views and services within the park.
Crater Lake's website has all of the information you need to plan your visit and learn about the park. They publish two newspapers each year which you can access online. One is for summer and fall, the other one is for winter and spring. May and June are not included in these publications, but you can read about them on the website. Also, any closures or alerts are listed on the website's homepage. There are two campgrounds within the park and two motels. Reservations ahead of time are recommended especially during peak summer months. The park has two visitor centers, Rim Village and Steel. You can view a 22 minute film about the history and formation of Crater Lake at the Steel Visitor Center. If you are hungry, there is a little cafe at the Rim Village Visitor Center. Both visitor centers have gift shops.
Crater Lake National Park website:
There are things to do here besides drive the Rim Drive. You can hike, bike, picnic, swim (brrrr), fish, take a trolley tour, take a boat tour. There are also winter activities within the park. Check the website and the corresponding newspaper for the time you plan to visit. Want to take your dog? Check the website to see where they are allowed. They are allowed in the park, but are restricted to certain areas and specific trails. We saw a lot of dogs while we were there.
If we were to go again, what would we do differently? Well, we both agree that we would take the boat tour to Wizard Island. There we could walk around the island and touch the cool, blue water. Another thing that I would do is hit some of the 90+ miles of hiking trails in the park. In fact, the Pacific Crest Trail runs through the park.
If you are planning a trip to the park, one day is all you need if you are just visiting the visitor centers and driving the Rim Drive. You might consider more than a day if you are interested in the tours, biking, hiking, swimming, or fishing. If you decide to swim, know that this water is chilly, in the 50s we were told. Another reason to consider more than one day is the weather. The first time we visited, we only had one day and the entire area was covered in clouds. We could only catch a foggy glimpse of the lake when the clouds briefly parted a couple times. So, more than one day provides that flexibility if needed.
All in all, we had a great visit to Crater Lake National Park. The pictures can't fully capture the grandeur of this place. We just may be back one day...

Crater Lake, Oregon - Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake National Park preserves Crater Lake and the surrounding volcanic landscape. The lake was created starting less than 8000 years ago when the 11,000-feet tall Mount Mazama collapsed in a huge volcanic eruption, losing about 3000 feet in elevation and leaving a caldera behind that was almost 2,000 feet deep. Over several hundred years, rainfall and snowmelt filled in the crater, resulting in Crater Lake.
Rim Drive circles the lake, leading to a number of scenic overlooks (although it is usually closed in the winter due to deep snow). The park features other volcanic landscapes, including the Pumice Desert and the Pinnacles. Rim Village is located at the south end of the lake, providing services and limited lodging.
The Photos (in order)
