Crater Lake National Park is a stunning natural wonder with gorgeous views of the lake. Visitors can hike, picnic, and go for a swim in the lake (during the warmer months) or enjoy cross-country skiing in winter. Don't miss Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder cone, and one of the park's highlights.
For a thrilling day on the slopes, head over to Willamette Pass Ski Resort. There are over twenty skiing runs and snowshoe trails and a spacious terrain park. The ski resort also has a restaurant and bar, perfect for grabbing a bite to eat during a break.
After an exciting day, visit the Sweet Cheeks Winery nestled in a beautiful countryside location. It is a perfect place to unwind and relax while sipping on some of the fantastic wines the winery has to offer. The tasting room provides breathtaking views of the Willamette Valley, and there are also occasional live musical performances and food trucks.
If you have more time, try visiting the Umpqua National Forest for some hiking or head over to the Oregon Vortex and enjoy the unusual optical illusion as things seem to defy gravity. Also, if you are traveling during winter, ensure you rent a four-wheel drive vehicle and confirm the weather condition for your adventure activities.
