| utahjimk | mostly snow covered  Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2011 | |
| Hiked Garfield Peak - "trail closed" but snow supportable. Tried Crater Peak but no tracks to mark route on snow. The only trail without snow was Cleetwood Cove! | |

| This is a great park. I camped for free on the PCT, and got a boat ride to wizard Island. Did swimming and hiking, cool place to visit, although you run out of things to do once your do everything... | |

| SKI | Great Place | |
| Day hiked the rim in snowshoes. It seemed as though the entire lake was frozen over!! | |

| cp0915 | quite a bit | |
| I've climbed about a half-dozen peaks in the park during 2 or 3 visits over the years. The lake is spectacularly beautiful. | |

| lcarreau | Memorable experience... Date Climbed: Oct 29, 1981 | |
| The first time I did it solo and got a great photo of Theilsen to the north. A Park Ranger helped me out in getting my car started up again, after it had stalled in front of the VC. I just did the normal trails to the north. In May 2003, I came in from the south with my wife. A sign had said the road was closed, but it turned out everything was open. I remember seeing Mount Shasta and Mount McLaughlin from the road going up to the lake, so it was a clear day. My wife and I just played around in a snowbank, looked down at the lake and dreamed. | |

| Eleutheros | The Deep Date Climbed: Sep 10, 1992 | |
| Often visited with my family when we lived out west. I wondered what it might be like 1,000 feet below the surface in the crater's black, cold waters. I also had a great fondness for Wizard Island. Have spent a fair amount of time hiking and exploring the area. | |

| Arthur Digbee | beautiful | |
| Did tourist trails as a kid and was very impressed. I had a new Instamatic camera and played photographer. | |

| LCannon | Several Hikes Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2007 | |
| We spent 3 days here hiking and exploring. Hiked Mount Scott, Elevation, 8929', then all the smaller trails. The second day we did The Watchman, elevation 8013', then Discovery Point trail, castle crest wildflower trail, and the Pinnacles. The third day we saw the Annie creek Trail and then did the Cleetwood Cove trail for the boat tour. Next visit we'll have to tackle Garfield Peak the only one we didn't do...I think I wore my family out! | |

| theronmoon | 3rd time Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2007 | |
| Great to be back at my childhood idea of nirvana! Had a great trip up Hillman Peak. This was a great and beautiful side note to a otherwise somber trip to Oregon. | |

| Jonodo | The Watchman Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2007 | |
| Climbed the Watchman with the family. Devin is getting stronger and was able to make the entire climb up. The area is really beautiful. Can't wait to return to climb some of the other peaks in southern Oregon. | |

| Mark Doiron | Several Short Hikes Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2007 | |
| Took several short hikes at various places along the rim looking for the best photo ops of this remarkable body of water. Planned to hike Wizard's Island on day two, but the tickets were sold out 20 minutes after the booth opened! :-( --mark d. | |

| redmachine | North Rim Date Climbed: May 20, 1992 | |
| Just a short visit. The snow didn't allow much exploring but added to the stunning views. | |

| mrh | Quick trip Date Climbed: May 20, 1992 | |
| Just a quick trip around the area as much as the snowey roads would allow. Snow levels were very low this year, but still most the area was closed. Very beautiful place. | |

| donhaller3 | Watchman Date Climbed: Nov 10, 2001 | |
| This was supposed to be a snowshoe venture, but the late fall meant that it was a walk in the snow and rock etc.. Sharon (wife), Mike and I parked clockwise from Watchman, walked up Watchman, went a ways back towards the Rim Village, doubled back to and past the car, walked around but not up Hillman, then walked another mile or so along the rim before returning to the car. Very light effort, seems almost strange to call it a summit. Nice views of Wizard Island, Thielson, Bailey and the Caldera. After being very familiar with the area in the early sixties, I was astonished at how perspective changes--never thought of it as "inside a classic Cascade stratovolcano" as a kid. Beautiful sky day. Will post pics when I can scan them. May have been the Saturday after the given dsate. | |
