Due to heavy snowfall, some of the entrances may be closed. The last time we visited two entrances were closed, this was during Memorial Weekend in late May. This added about two hours of driving on to our trip. So keep this in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on which way you drive, we have a few suggested stops to make.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Natural Bridge in Prospect, OR, US, 97536<\/li>\n<li>Rogue River Gorge Viewpoint, located at 56541 Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, Prospect, OR, US, 97536<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crater_Lake\"><\/span>Crater Lake<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Crater Lake is Oregon\u2019s shimmering blue gem. It\u2019s a must-see landmark during any trip to Southern Oregon. There are two ways many people enjoy the lake. One way is to drive the 33-mile Rim Drive and stop at the many vista points overlooking the water if the road is open. The other is to make the one-mile hike down a switchback trail to the water\u2019s edge again only if the trail is open.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors can swim, fish, take a boat tour, or just eat a trail lunch on the shores of Crater Lake. Crater Lake National Park rangers are on hand to explain the eruption of Mt. Mazama about 7,700 years ago and how the mountain collapsed, creating a 2,000-foot deep crater. The end result is a lake created solely from snowmelt&#8211;there is no river flowing in. Scientists have measured the water \u2019s clarity to as deep as 120 feet.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight stay the night at Crater Lake Lodge. They have\u00a071 rooms overlooking the lake at Rim Village. It is typically open May 15 through October 11. Rooms begin at $200 per night. Reservations can be made up to 365 days in advance either <a href=\"https:\/\/explorecraterlake.com\/book-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online<\/a> or by calling 866-292-6720.
