Ashland, Oregon: Crater Lake

Crater Lake National Park is only about a two hour drive from Ashland, Oregon. Crater Lake is a sight to behold – a memorizing indigo blue contained within a deep caldera. It is also the source of the Rogue River – Oregon’s most famous and favorite river rafting trip. Getting to Crater Lake from Ashland is a beautiful drive. First head on I-5 North to the second exit for Medford (exit 30). Next, make a right onto OR-62/Crater Lake Highway. Continue on this road for 54.5 miles...
