Best Crater Lake Views

Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the United States at 1,943 feet, is a caldera formed by the collapse of Mount Mazama nearly 7,700 years ago. This list highlights the Rim Drive's premier overlooks, including the high-altitude Cloudcap and the historic Sinnott Memorial. Beyond the water, explore unique volcanic features like the fossilized fumaroles of The Pinnacles and the orange dacite of Pumice Castle. These vantage points offer views of Wizard Island and Phantom Ship while showcasing the park's distinct geological history.
