Oregon Gorge, Crater Lake & Coast Loop
Depart from Portland, looping through gorge waterfalls, Bend, Crater Lake, and the southern and northern coasts
A classic Oregon loop, taking in waterfalls, volcanoes, deep blue lakes, and sea stacks in just over a week. Traveling clockwise puts Crater Lake in the middle, concentrating the long driving days on the second and fifth days. Ideal for summer road trips. The Cleetwood Cove Trail is closed for construction from 2026 to 2028, meaning you cannot hike down to the lake shore or board the boat to Wizard Island; the itinerary only views the lake from the rim.
The Rim Drive is usually fully open in July, with snow accumulating after October. Watch out for wildfire smoke in autumn.
