Hike the Crater Lake Rim Trail!

Details

The picture, taken from Wizard Island, shows the portion of the Crater Lake Rim that we will hike on the Crater Lake Rim Trail.
Walking poles will be helpful on the short and steeper rocky sections.
Be sure to bring your National Park Pass. Otherwise, it's a $30 entry fee per car.
At 8:30am, we'll meet at the Dollar Tree in White City, 7338 Crater Lake Hwy, White City, OR 97503. From there, we'll carpool to Crater Lake National Park via the South Entrance.
We will do 3 hikes. When combined, the total distance is less than 5 miles with about 300 feet of elevation gain.
Our first hike is 1/4 mile at the Rogue Gorge on our way to Crater Lake National Park.
The main hike is the Crater Lake Rim Trail popular with hikers of the Pacific Crest Trail. We will walk a 1 1/2 mile section of the Crater Lake Rim Trail (3 miles round trip) from just beyond Discovery Point to Rim Village.
At Rim Village, we will have time to explore on our own. We can enjoy the views of Crater Lake, visit Sinnott Overlook, check out the gift shop, and sit outside on a rocking chair at Crater Lake Lodge above Crater Lake below. Rim Village will also be our time to enjoy lunch.
After our time at Rim Village, we will return back to our cars the way we came on the Crater Lake Rim Trail.
Our third hike is the 1.1 mile Godfrey Glen loop trail through old growth forest that includes views of Annie Creek Canyon, and Godfrey Glen.
Afterwards, we'll carpool back to the Dollar Tree in White City.
