Crater Lake’s Best Trails

Crater Lake National Park has more than 100 miles of hiking trails. 

“Hike here – and change your life as you know it. Smell the pine perfume, walk in places that haven’t changed in thousands of years, unaltered by the crude hand of mankind. Take a minute, listen to the sounds of mountain birds, of jays and nuthatches, the sounds of bumblebees going about their business. You won’t soon forget it” Larry Eifert – a career painter of American Wilderness
