3 CRATER LAKE HIKES💧🥾🩵

Visiting Crater Lake was a bucket list spot for me!! 🩵 Located in Oregon, the lake itself is absolutely gorgeous & such a deep blue, while the nature & mountains around it are equally stunning!

There are multiple hikes you can do in Crater Lake National Park, but I did the 3 with the best & most different views from each other. Here are the 3 I did:

1. Garfield Peak

This one is the most popular because it offers clear & panoramic views of the lake!

This one is the highest peak in Crater Lake National Park.

3. Cleetwood Cove Trail

This one is the most strenuous & steep, but it takes you right down to the lake where you can swim!

SAVE this post for your trip to Oregon 🌲

Crater Lake National Park

2024/4/22 Edited to

Crater Lake, renowned for its striking blue waters, offers a unique hiking experience for nature lovers and adventurers. The three featured trails each provide distinct perspectives of this natural wonder. 1. **Garfield Peak** - A 3.5-mile roundtrip hike, often praised for its panoramic vistas of Crater Lake, allowing hikers to soak in the breathtaking landscape while enjoying a moderately challenging terrain. The mesmerizing scenery along the way makes it a favorite among visitors. 2. **Mt. Scott** - As the highest point in the park, this 4.3-mile roundtrip hike rewards those brave enough to reach its summit with stunning views of the lake and surrounding wilderness. The trek can be strenuous but is well worth the effort for its unparalleled vistas. 3. **Cleetwood Cove Trail** - This unique 2.2-mile roundtrip hike is the only legal route that offers direct access to Crater Lake. It is steep and strenuous, but it leads guests to the water’s edge where they can experience the lake up close - an experience enriched by the lake's translucence and vibrant colors. Whether you are keen on panoramic views from the peaks or thirsting for a dip in the lake, these hikes in Crater Lake National Park are unforgettable adventures that promise to be highlights of your Oregon itinerary.
