Explore Crater Lake National Park on foot this summer!

Here is my list of the best hikes to do in 1-2 days at Crater Lake National Park

Watchman Overlook

The overlook affords beautiful views of Wizard Island and Crater Lake. Around 45 minutes to one hour to reach the top of the lookout (at 8,013 ft/2442 m).

Check out these views and hear the wind howl!

Garfield Peak

The trail follows the rugged rim of Crater Lake to the top of Garfield Peak, where you may enjoy spectacular views of the lake each step of the way. 3.4 miles/2 hours.

Sun Notch Trail

A must-see is the short, ten-minute Sun Notch Trail. This .8-mile loop trail is an easy walk through the meadows to spectacular views of the Phantom Ship.

Mount Scott

If you have one hike to do, the one you want is the hike to the top of Mount Scott.The 4.4 miles round trip hike leads to the highest point in the park at 8,929 ft providing awe-inspiring views.
