Over the years, I have been to Crater Lake National Park three times, the last time being five years ago during my Great American Eclipse trip. One time, my parents and I hiked down to the water. That was enjoyable, but the hike back up was something else. It was a good thing I was 19 at the time and handled it okay.
While the trip to Crater Lake was enjoyable, it was slightly marred by wildfires in the area. The smoke from those fires settled inside the crater, giving it a hazy look.
Only In Your State has posted an article on hiking around the rim of Crater Lake.
It begins with:
There’s nowhere on Earth quite like Crater Lake, and here in Oregon, we are immensely proud to call it ours. There are many ways to experience this extraordinary national park in Oregon, from cruising the 33-mile-long Rim Drive that encircles the lake to chartering a boat that journeys through its pristine waters. Our favorite, however, is the old-fashioned way: on foot. Clocking in at an easy (and flat) four miles, the Discovery Point Trail is one of the most accessible and popular treks in the park, and it allows adventurers to literally hike along the rim of this magnificent dormant volcano in Oregon.
