Garfield Peak at Crater Lake

We are on a road trip, and decided to drive through Crater Lake National Park. We hiked up to Garfield Peak (3 miles round trip with 1,000 ft of gain). The trail starts behind the lodge on the south side of Crater Lake.





Some views of Crater Lake as we walk past the Lodge to the trail:

Lots of lovely views before the trail starts to go up Garfield Peak.

Near the top of Garfield Peak looking to the south: we could see Klamath Lake and in the far distance, Mt Shasta

The sky was clear and with no wind, the water was still. Such a deep gorgeous blue with lovely reflections:
