What an amazing tour! Justin was the most extraordinary guide. Super friendly, personable and helpful. We felt like we made a new friend. He has a deep knowledge of Crater Lake, as well as its trees & plants, and had a unique gift for combining his knowledge of physics with his touring to help us understand how the lake was formed and why it is so blue. We did four hikes - one to sun notch overlooking the phantom ship rocks, one long astoundingly beautiful hike to the top of Garfield Peak, one to wildflowers in a gorgeous meadow, and one very short overlooking Wizard Island. They were all magnificent, as was the very healthy, yummy lunch Justin provided. All in all, a fabulous day. We highly recommend it. And ask for Justin!

Points of Interest
Stop At: Rim Drive
Oregon
This drive is approximately 33 miles long and offers numerous pullouts, overlooks, and attractions like Phantom Ship Overlook and Watchman Overlook, allowing visitors to stop and admire the spectacular vistas of the lake and surrounding volcanic terrain. It's a popular route for sightseeing, photography, and enjoying the natural beauty of Crater Lake.
Duration: 4 hours
Stop At: Mount Scott
The Mount Scott Trail at Crater Lake, starting near Crater Lake Lodge off East Rim Drive, spans about 2.5 miles one way, providing a moderately strenuous hike culminating in the park's highest point at 8,929 feet. Trekking through rocky terrain and switchbacks, hikers ascend steadily, rewarded by breathtaking panoramas as they near the summit. The well-marked trail reveals glimpses of the surrounding beauty before unveiling a magnificent vista from the peak—Crater Lake stretches below, Wizard Island emerges within the crystalline waters, and an expansive view of forests and mountains unfolds. Weather can shift suddenly, so readiness for variable conditions, including potential wind and cooler temperatures, especially at higher elevations, is crucial for a safe and enjoyable trek.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Plaikni Falls
Oregon
Plaikni Falls, found within Crater Lake National Park, offers a peaceful and family-friendly 2-mile round trip hike from Phantom Ship Overlook. The gentle trail winds through a serene forest with occasional wildlife sightings and informative signs about local flora. Arriving at the falls reveals a tranquil oasis—a graceful waterfall cascades down a mossy cliff. This makes it a serene gem in the park's landscape.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Garfield Peak
Oregon
Garfield Peak is a prominent summit within Crater Lake National Park, offering one of the most stunning viewpoints of Crater Lake. The trailhead begins near Crater Lake Lodge, and the hike is around 3.4 miles round trip, considered moderately strenuous due to its steep elevation gain. As hikers ascend, they navigate through switchbacks and rocky terrain, but the reward is the breathtaking panorama from the peak. At an elevation of around 8,054 feet, visitors are treated to an incredible view of Crater Lake, Wizard Island, and the surrounding landscapes. It's a popular spot for sunrise or sunset, providing an unforgettable experience and an unparalleled perspective of the majestic beauty of Crater Lake.
