Destination Overview

Overview

Truly like no other place on earth, Crater Lake has inspired travellers for thousands of years. No other place on the planet offers the combination of a pure, deep lake as blue in colour, surrounded by sheer cliffs, picturesque islands and an active volcanic past. Boasting a landscape like nowhere else, the Crater Lake National Park resides within the Cascade Mountains of south western Oregon.

Unusually deep and intensely blue, Crater Lake is almost exactly circular. The Lake is the water-filled caldera of Mount Mazama, an extinct volcano which has lava cliffs rising around the lake to heights of up to 2,000 feet. Rim Drive encircles the lake in the clockwise direction just a brief distance from the crater’s edge. The Drive starts at Rim Village, although this roadway is only accessible for your pleasure during the warmer months. Cruises regularly depart for Wizard Island from Cleetwood Cove, which allows for exploration of the splendid lake itself.

Oregon

Complete with picturesque towns and diverse landscape, Oregon is one of America’s most beautiful states. There’s so much beauty to absorb in Oregon, from its winding rivers and dramatic rugged coastline, to the high desert country and mountainous forestland. From east to west, its towns offer a distinct character and amazing views, be it the oceanic scenery, tree-lined hills or snow-capped mountains. From the charming coastal escapes to historic little villages, Oregon boasts an abundance of diverse and beautiful scenery. There are lush areas brimming with scenic views, historic sites, outdoor adventures and numerous art and cultural experiences. Must-do activities during holidays in Oregon include taking leisurely strolls past splendid buildings full of cafes, visiting art galleries and unique shops awaiting your discovery, and meandering through stunning parks amid acres of serene beauty. And after a day of walking, relaxation includes taking in a theatrical production. Travel to the scenic state of Oregon truly does offer visitors much to see and explore.

When to visit Crater Lake National Park

Crater Lake National Park

With its lush greenery and temperate climate, Portland is the perfect city for outdoor enthusiasts. During your holiday to Oregon, step outside and you will be welcomed by the serene green beauty of a city filled with lush trees. Dubbed the “City of Roses”, Portland is a natural getaway that boasts some of the top tourist destinations of the United States.

Numerous gardens are scattered throughout the city to showcase its wide array of flora, along with some of the country’s most beautiful garden designs. Beyond its gardens, Portland is home to a thriving art scene, with impressive art collections from cultures that span the entire world. Columbia River Gorge offers beautiful parks, the dazzling Columbia River, the majestic Multnomah Falls, as well as great panoramas of the Gorge. For a medium-sized city, Portland bursts with art and culture, offering visitors of all tastes and preferences a multitude of entertaining attractions.

Spring Fiestas

Springtime in Oregon is marked by rising temperatures, although some scattered rain showers can put a damper on sightseeing activities. Pack layers for your holiday to United States as the temperatures tend to fluctuate. While the spring weather isn’t exactly ideal for touring, the summer crowds are yet to flock and fill up the popular destinations. Some of the spring festivals worth attending include the Spring Beer & Wine Fest and the Cinco de Mayo fiesta which is not to be missed.

Summer Roses

This is the time to enjoy the full “City of Roses experience”: warm temperatures and bright sunny skies mean that the gardens are in full bloom, the outdoor markets are bustling with activity and the entire region sets out to celebrate at many special events. However, summer is also Oregon’s peak tourism season so hotels fill up faster. Travellers on a United States holiday can attend the Portland Rose Festival, the Hawthorne Street Festival and the Bite of Oregon among other fun fests.

Autumn Festivities

As the vacation season draws to an end, Oregon experiences a drop in temperature. Average highs during the autumn months range from the 13 to 21 degrees. Summer tourists on a tour in United States tend to linger well into September to take part in the end-of-summer festivities; including the Time-Based Art Festival, the Portland Fashion Week, the Portland Marathon and the Northwest Food & Wine Festival. Art lovers will particularly enjoy the Time-Based Art Festival that draws artist for a convergence of performance and visual arts.

Winter Lights

Winters in Oregon are characterised by one thing – the rain. The average low temperatures at this time prevent the fall of snow, but this does not deter winter sports fans on a United States tour. Mount Hood receives plenty of powder, which makes it a popular daytrip stop for snowboarders and skiers alike. Back in town, the museums are open, but the numerous gardens and parks operate shorter hours. Key events to attend include the Festival of Lights, the Portland Seafood & Wine Festival and the Portland International Film Festival.
