Crater Lake Adventure
PLUS: Hot Springs, Waterfalls, & Wizard Island
Join us for 3 nights / 4 days of adventure at Crater Lake! This is your LAST chance to experience the lake until 2029, so don’t miss out! There is a good reason this lake is a National Park—it's not just breathtakingly gorgeous, but also the deepest lake in North America, formed by a massive, ancient volcano! We’ll hike the lake’s rim, explore the surrounding ancient forests, and take a boat to Wizard Island. Plus, unwind in nearby hot springs and hike to breathtaking waterfalls. This is the ultimate Oregon adventure you won’t want to miss!
