Northern Cascade Range if you like the outdoors. Why not camp at East Side Buck Creek Campground while you're here at Crater Lake; do take a hike on the Meadow Mountain Trail. Crater Lake sees pretty high levels of rainfall; the month
with most of the rain is November; July on the other hand is the driest. This lake is so wonderful. Nearby lakes? Sure, Lake Kawkawak is close to Crater Lake; going for a hike along the Sulphur Mountain Way will let you absorb the natural beauty of this area.

Cascade River
 | Did this section July 21, 2007 in a tandem canoe, at about 1850. Had never done this section before. The description above seems accurate. Several large log jams, some completely blocking the river, forcing us to take some long and rough portages through thick brush and over huge piles of logs. Even when the river is not blocked, there are serious strainers at every bend. You really have to be alert to avoid them. A lot of work and danger for the few fun class II rapids you get within the first mile or so. We spent nearly three hours on portages and scouting and only about one hour actually on the water. Not recommended.... |
