Garfield Peak Trail
This 3.6 round-trip trek is classified as strenuous and an almost continuously rising path to the top. The scenery is worth every step. Hikers can rest frequently while being rewarded with colorful flora and/or striking landscapes. The paved walkway along the lake rim, east of Crater Lake Lodge leads to the Garfield Peak Trailhead. Views of Wizard Island appear through the trees along the walkway, right. The interpretive sign, above, marks the beginning of the trail. Looking back from the first switchback, Crater Lake Lodge stands in the background , top right. That's not a plane, or a bird- it's a dragonfly that buzzes off at the top left corner of the photo.
