Crater Lake is a location that is rather dried up frequently; August is the wettest month with most rain, and the driest month of the year is June. The San Juan and Jemez Mountains scenery is always beautiful. This lake is so wonderful. The Highline Trail offers hiking

bored here in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains. If you need a place to stay Purgatory Village Condominium Hotel is a great choice, and if you've had enough of Crater Lake, Little Molas Lake is nearby. So many entertaining things to
do in the San Juan and Jemez Mountains, not enough time. The West Needle Mountains casts its shadow over Crater Lake; why not camp at Purgatory Campground since you're here at Crater Lake. For the duration of the warm days of summer
at Crater Lake highs are ordinarily in the 70's while nighttime lows are mostly in the 40's. Throughout the wintertime this place gets highs in the 30's; night lows all through the wintertime for Crater Lake tend to be in the 0's.
Glide down the rapids of Lime Creek in a kayak. Hiking is a popular thing to do around Crater Lake; Whitehead Trail is a tremendous local trail, and the snow is good at Silverton.
