Crater Lake National Park: 48 Hours of Hiking, Boat Tours & More

Crater Lake is one of the most incredible national parks in the United States, a collapsed volcano filled with water so blue it doesn’t seem real. I’ve been wanting to take the boat tour here for years, and with tours closing after this season, I finally made the trip to experience the lake from inside the caldera.

In this video, I hike down the steep Cleetwood Cove Trail, step onto the water of Crater Lake, and explore highlights like Wizard Island, Phantom Ship, and hidden coves along the shore. The perspective from the boat is completely different from what you see on the rim, and it gave me a whole new appreciation for place. Plus I do lots of other hikes along the rim as well.

Let me know your favorite spot in the comments!
