Oregon’s Winter Wonderland

Crystalwood Lodge — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:34:51 +0000

Our Oregon Bed and Breakfast is situated in a winter wonderland. Sunny most of the year, it is dazzling beautiful when the snows start to fall. If you live in a grayer area of the northwest, you know you want escape to the sun and snow. Don’t delay – plan your trip to Cascade Oregon today.

Ready for a little apres ski?

There are a number of winter activities close to our Klamath Falls lodging, but once the snows are here, it is most fun to strap snowshoes (or skis) to your feet and head out into the wilderness. Our lodge sits on 130 acres of land, and has five miles of trails available just for guests. If you like to get a little exercise and fresh air, but don’t want to make a day of it, exploring the trails at the lodge is perfect. This allows ample time for lounging, soaking, eating and visiting.

The Fremont-Winema National Forests are adjacent to our land, making forays into the wilderness convenient. Crater Lake National Park is less than an hour away by car, making it another great option for a day in the snow.

Be sure to dress in warm layers, bring snacks and water, and know where you are going when you head out for the day. But what a day you will have!

This winter, rent our entire Klamath Falls lodge and enjoy great discounts to the individual room rate. Gather together good friends and family for a week or weekend of great fun. You can even bring your dogs, as we are a pet-friendly lodge!

Yesterday was a fee-free day at Crater Lake National Park. I am living and working at the Crystalwood Lodge this summer, which is only 18 miles from the southern entrance to the park, so the free day was a nice excuse to visit the lake. I like to run in the evenings so I packed up my runners and water bottle set out. When I got there at 6pm the afternoon rush of people had come and gone, the air was cooling and the sun was beginning to set. The pictures I’ve included are from The Watchman Overlook (8013 ft) and Garfield Peak (8054ft).

There are two major upcoming events at Crater Lake in August. The 5th Annual Century Ride will be taking place on August 15th. Particpants can do the 62 mile ride, The Metric Century, from the Fort Klamath Museum up to the edge of the Rim Drive or the 100 mile Century Ride from the Fort Klamath Museum around the Rim Drive. There are 300 participants registered. The Century Ride is not a race, but an opportunity for avid cyclists to challenge themselves and experience Crater Lake. More information is available at http://www.craterlakecentury.com/index.html

Another upcoming event of a similar nature is the 34th Annual Crater Lake Rim Run, which will be taking place on August 8th. The event has 500 people registered to walk/run either the 6.7 m, 13m or 26m sections. More information is available at http://www.craterlakerimruns.com/neweventdetails.htm
