How to make the most of one night at Crater Lake National Park

Crater Lake is one of those places where you can, and probably should, spend a few days exploring. Between Rim Drive, the historic lodge and loads of nearby hikes, there’s enough there for days of adventure. But sometimes you don’t have that time. On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we go through a recent one-night visit to Oregon’s famous national park, discussing how to make the most of a short trip to the caldera.

Stopping for gas and stumbling onto a pair of gorgeous waterfalls. Where to find great hiking off the rim of the lake. -- Jamie Hale and Vickie Connor Learn more about your ad choices.
