Tips from the community
This 1.7-mile round-trip, moderate hike gains 400 feet up to Watchman Peak, a beautiful spot along the rim of Crater Lake. Located on the west side of the park, the sun sets to your back, lighting up the sky over the lake with a cotton candy appearance. It gets windy at the summit in the evening so bring a jacket!
