Family Overview: Crater Lake National Park, Oregon
Crater Lake National Park, Oregon's only national park, is in a remote area in the south-central half of the state 80 miles northeast of Medford, the nearest major city. While not a national park "superstar" (and fortunately lacking the crowds that this status brings), this park, set against the snowcapped peaks of the Cascade Mountains, has enough majestic beauty to be considered an undiscovered gem.Read More
