Things To Do
Crater Lake
Crater Lake is one of Oregon’s most iconic natural landmarks and a must-see for visitors. Formed by the collapse of Mount Mazama, it is the deepest lake in the United States and renowned for its strikingly clear, deep-blue water. Guests can enjoy scenic viewpoints along Rim Drive, short hikes with breathtaking overlooks, or simply take in the views of Wizard Island rising from the lake. Even a brief stop offers unforgettable scenery.
Lava Beds Visitor Center
Lava Beds National Monument is a unique volcanic landscape featuring dozens of lava tube caves formed by ancient basalt flows. Visitors can explore self-guided caves, walk across dramatic lava fields, and learn about the area’s geological and historical significance, including its role in the Modoc War. Important note: Many cave hikes require visitors to bring reliable light sources (headlamps or flashlights), and helmets are strongly recommended due to low ceilings and uneven terrain. Sturdy footwear is also advised. This destination is best suited for guests who are comfortable with a more adventurous, hands-on experience.
Spence Mountain Trailhead
The Spence Mountain Trailhead provides access to one of the best panoramic hikes in the Klamath Falls area. The trail winds through forested terrain and opens to expansive views of Upper Klamath Lake and the surrounding basin. It’s a great option for guests who want a peaceful outdoor experience without committing to a full-day excursion. Wildlife sightings and wide-open vistas make this trail especially rewarding.
