Sightseeing
Only 1 1/2 hours from Medford, Crater Lake is a must see for anyone traveling to Southern Oregon. Artists, photographers, and sightseers gaze in wonder at its blue water and stunning setting atop the Cascade Mountain Range. Born out of the eruption of Mt. Mazama 7,700 years ago, the mountain collapsed and created a nearly 2,000-foot deep crater. Seven millenia of rain and snowmelt have filled the crater and has resulted in one of the world's clearest bodies of water. Scientists have measured the water’s clarity to as deep as 120 feet.
