We are currently taking a cross country trip and are now in MT soon to be going into Canada, then back to the U.S. via WA and OR. We will be heading back East and met someone that suggested we visit ...
Best way to take in Crater Lake is to do the boat ride. There's way more going on down on the lake than you can see from the Rim drive. Well worth the hike down and out. Wife and I go to CL anytime we're up near Diamond Lake. We've probably been there 12-15 times. We're home grown Oregonians too. JMO but I'd dry camp at Broken Arrow. Plenty of big sites plus a dump station. 9 miles away to CL.
