Crater Lake Summer Tour

Saturday, July 13th, 2024

ABOUT

Adventure: Wanderlust Tours is the premier destination to discover the beauty and secrets of our 6th National Park. Perched atop the 750-mile long cordillera, the world’s purest body of water awaits to astound you! Join us for outlooks and walks, natural and cultural history interpretation that you’ll forever remember.

We typically run our Crater Lake tours as private tours but we want to accommodate smaller groups and open it up to the public for an amazing day of exploration!

Naturalist Guided Experience: After entering the National Park, we’ll ascend the north flank of Mt. Mazama, coursing over lava rock, remnant of this volcano’s last cataclysmic blast. Mt. Mazama’s eruptive history is extensive. Its cataclysmic blast 7,700 years ago created the incredible hole we now call Crater Lake! Its snow-melt water began filling the depression until an equilibrium was met eventually gifting Oregon with the United States’ deepest body of water. The views garnered from the volcano’s rim are simply breathtaking! Amidst the wealth of interpretation our guides will offer on this journey we’ll likely share how we as humans are the single greatest threat to this lake’s purity as well as being the intelligent and responsible stewards of its continued status of clarity and purity!

Please note: Crater Lake National Park is currently completing a large road construction project in the park. Due to this project, there will be road, trail and overlook closures on the east side of the park for the 2024 summer season. The construction will be between Skell Head Overlook and Phantom Ship Overlook on East Rim Drive. The construction zone is a small portion of the total rim drive so there is still plenty to see and explore!
