Located on the east side of Crater Lake, Mount Scott is the highest point in the park (8,929 ft.), with a working fire lookout at the summit.
A prominent point on the west side of Crater Lake’s rim, Watchman Peak offers spectacular views from the decks of a fire lookout, including Wizard Island directly below, and of the Cascades to the west.
This is a short hike, located just off of Highway 58, with two waterfalls (including the second tallest in Oregon), a forest understory full of rhododendrons, interesting rustic bridges and rippling streams.
A hike along the Little North Santiam River, with old sawmill and mine equipment and the town of Jawbone Flats.
Hike along Hurricane Creek to Slick Rock Gorge in the Wallowas for views of Sacajawea Peak, wildflowers in the meadows, and a fantastic gorge where Slick Rock Creek meets Hurricane Creek.
Located near the Wallowa Lake State Park, we took the tram up 3,700 ft. to the summit of Mount Howard (8,150 ft.). The views of the Wallowa mountain range from the top are amazing!
Three days of camping and exploring at Cape Perpetua on the Central Oregon coast: tide pools with purple sea urchins, an old-growth coastal forest hike, pounding surf at Thor’s Well and Devil’s Churn, and even a spouting whale to top it all off (sorry, no whale photos).
A hike from Short Sand Beach to the rocky summit of Neahkahnie Mountain.
We spent three days exploring and hiking the Samuel H. Boardman Scenic Corridor. Stretching for twelve miles along the Oregon Coast, the park has some of the most dramatic scenery on the west coast.
