| Description: 3200-foot elevation. 16 campsites near Little Crater Lake. The small version of the famous lake to the south is considered a geologic oddity, possibly created artesian H2O forcing its way through the soft volcanic rock, creating a "blowhole." Excellent huckleberry picking in the vicinity. Fishing in the lake. Hiking on the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which leads south to Timothy Lake & north up the slopes of Mount Hood.
Location: From Sandy, go 66.5 miles east on US 26, four miles south on Skyline Road (Forest Road 42), two miles west on FR 58.
Season: May 13 - September 5. |
