Crater Lake - like others have said, it depends on what you want to do. If hiking is on the agenda, plan on spending a couple of days. At a minimum, hike down the trail to the lake level and take the boat tour. It is, however, a steep ascent coming out, so I hope you're all in good physical condition. We visited Crater Lake on July 9, 2009 - the boat had only been in operation about a week. Take plenty of bug repellant, but be prepared to get bugged by bugs anyway. If you're lucky like we were, you'll be able to stop along the road and have a summertime snowball fight - yes, there was that much snow left in the woods in July!
We stayed at Collier Memorial State Park, about 30 minutes south of Crater Lake in Chiloquin. Gorgeous setting and immaculately clean. There is a Pacific Northwest logging museum attached to the park - so if any of you have an interest in history this could be worth checking out. Incredible collection of all kinds of logging equipment.
