It’s been really great to see guests getting into the spirit of things here at the Lodge these past few weeks! Guests are really loving the informal and relaxing atmosphere of the Lodge and have been enthusiastically taking in tons of area activities. I’ve had a guest go for an early morning run with her dogs on the Crystalwood property, a toddler playing with his new plastic golf set on the front lawn, people basking in the sunshine pretending to read and families playing games in our livingroom.
Many guests come to this area to see Crater Lake and, after driving around the rim and doing some hiking, ask me “What else is there to do around here?” Our local newspaper, Now that I’m Here, was created for that very purpose and can be downloaded on our website (www.crystalwoodlodge.com) It has tons of information on other things to do in this area and a great map in the center
Here are a few ideas on how you can make your trip down to the Crater Lake area the best it can be:
1. Relax! Get a blanket and lay own in our poplar grove, sit in the sunshine with a book, play a game, try your hand at fishing or watch the sunset with a glass of wine in your hand…
2. Come prepared. Lately our commerical refrigerator has been filled with guest food! People have enjoyed “playing chef” in the kitchen — baking biscuits for their breakfast, cooking on the stove or using our outdoor bbq for kabobs and steaks.
3. Go for a hike. There are tons of hiking opportunities nearby the Lodge. The Cherry Creek and Nannie Creek trails offer peaceful paths and wonderful views! The Lodge has additonal information of hiking trails in the area. Be sure to take some time to explore the Crystalwood property as well – we have 130 acres of property filled with several miles of easy walking trails.
4. Take a canoe out. The trip down Crystal Creek is beautiful, peaceful and nature-filled —particularly great for birders.
5. Check out some of the local museums and events. Now that I’m Here has a calender of events and directions on how to get to the Fort Klamath Museum, Collier State Park Logging Museum or the Train Mountain Miniature Railroad.
