Crater Lake in Oregon

UncleWede · 07-06-2017, 02:19 PM

Wife and I are going to take 4 days to drive up to Portland. Was thinking about a stopover to visit Crater Lake. Don't think my dad ever took us there.

Thoughts?

I'm pretty sure *I* can make the hike to/from the boat dock. With several stops wife made the top of the Sun Palace in MExico and some 11,000 summits in Peru.

Might help get responses if you spell it correctly in the title

Went there recently with the wife and it's beautiful. The "hike" is more of a long walk and isn't that difficult but going back up is definitely a workout.

If you will be in downtown Portland, check out Departure and Urban Farmer in the Nines hotel.

That the guy that fell into the volcano last year?

VeloF1 · 07-06-2017, 04:27 PM

Yes. Go! Spectacular even if you just drive around the Lake. We did that road trip last year. Also, check out Timerline Lodge on Mt Hood (shining movie was filmed there); Hood River area; waterfalls between Hood River and Portland-- And, after visiting Portland for a few days, we drove home along coast. Very enjoyable.

Once we get to Portland my wife is involved in saying Yes to the Dress . . .

It's a nice place. Go there.

The Yardhouse in Portland was good. I had the Porcini Crusted Halibut. It was delicious. Great choice of beers, too.

Mt. St Helens was an easy and worthwhile day trip if you have the time. Go all the way up to the Johnston Ridge Observatory.

This place looks very cool. One day... one day!

BMW F22 · 07-06-2017, 08:18 PM

Sounds like a fun trip!! Definitely on my bucket list of places to visit.

KwlAznKid · 07-06-2017, 10:17 PM

I've been before long ago with my family when I was a kid, it was super fun from what i remember, we did a boat ride and everything

UncleWede · 07-07-2017, 11:50 AM

Now it seems my son is coming with us, so that 2-day stopover in Tahoe may be out the window. Oh, and we have to rush back on Sunday from Portland because his first day of college is that Monday

And it's NOT General Sherman she wants to drive thru, because #sequoia and not #redwoods so the trip looks more like first night in Frisco, second night in Santa Cruz, then 3rd night somewhere near Crater Lake.

If you like beer, go to Apex in Portland. Amazing selection.
