Crater Lake Discovery Point Trail view of Wizard Island (winter)

This photo of Crater Lake and Wizard Island was taken near Discovery Point Trail in Crater Lake National Park. To get here, park at the west end of Rim Village and walk west until you reach the unmarked Discovery Point Trailhead, where the paved sidewalk turns to a dirt path. The trail continues west along the rim of the lake — you'll be able to get some amazing views in between the tree line. This photo was taken just behind Crater Lake Lodge. To capture my exact perspective, follow the trail until you reach the referenced GPS coordinates and then walk down towards the rim line. In winter, Crater Lake National Park's south entrance is open, so if you're traveling from Seattle or Portland, you must drive south to the Medford/Jacksonville area, then approach the park from the south. The entrance fee to visit the park is $15 per vehicle and it's good for seven days. Driving directions from the Annie Spring Entrance Station: - Drive northward into the park 4 miles to Rim Dr. - Turn left on to West Rim Dr and travel 2 miles to Rim Village Road Parking Area
