Free Ranger-Guided Snowshoe Walks at Crater Lake

Free Ranger-Guided Snowshoe Walks at Crater Lake

In an average winter, Crater Lake National Park receives 42 feet of snow! Ranger-guided snowshoe walks are a fun way to explore this winter wonderland while learning how plants, animals, and people survive the harsh conditions.

 

Walks are offered on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from late November through April. They also take place on weekdays during Winter Break (December 23-January 3) and Spring Break (March 24-28).

They start at 1:00 pm, last two hours, and cover 1 to 2 miles of moderate-to-strenuous terrain. They don’t follow a trail—the hike is an off-trail exploration through the forests and meadows along the rim of Crater Lake. On days when the road to Rim Village is closed, they explore the forests and meadows near Park Headquarters.

There is no cost for the tour, apart from the park’s winter entrance fee of $20 per vehicle. Snowshoes are provided free of charge and no previous snowshoeing experience is necessary. Participants must be at least 8 years old and come prepared with warm clothing and water-resistant footwear. Pets are not allowed.

Space on each tour is limited and advance reservations are required. For more information and to sign up, call 541-594-3100. Outdoor clubs, scout troops, and other organized groups of 10 or more people may be able to arrange for a separate tour, staff permitting.
