The Enchanting Beauty of Crater Lake National Park

Crater Lake National Park in Oregon is a place where you can enjoy magnificent natural beauty. Formed about 7,700 years ago when Mount Mazama erupted and collapsed, it is known as the deepest lake in the United States. The deep blue surface of the lake is breathtakingly beautiful, giving you the feeling of having wandered into another world. Within the park, there is a scenic drive called the Rim Drive, where you can view the lake from different angles at various lookout points. Especially at sunset, the lake is dyed in shades of orange and purple, creating a magical scene. If you enjoy hiking, the trail to Mount Scott is recommended. From the summit, you can get a panoramic view of the entire lake and truly appreciate its grandeur. Descending the Cleetwood Cove Trail, the only access route to the lake, you can reach the crystal-clear lake surface. In summer, boat tours are available, offering an unparalleled view of the caldera from the water. Visitor Information • Address: Crater Lake National Park, P.O.
