Hiking

Hiking at Crystal Creek Mountain LodgeHave you ever climbed a volcano?  Or perhaps you’d like to take a long walk alongside rivers and lakes to get a close-up view of our wildlife?

Trails are everywhere in the Klamath Basin offering hikers a variety of landscapes to traverse.  Beginning hikers may enjoy easy day hikes with spectacular scenery while those with more experience may enjoy overnight camping on the Pacific Crest Trail.  We have something for everyone near Crystal Creek Mountain Lodge.

Due to weather conditions in the winter, many of the trails in the Klamath Basin area are best visited from June through October.

Here are just a few examples of hiking trails near Crystal Creek Mountain Lodge.

A slightly easier hike is the Puck Lake Trail, a 4.5-mile trail rated as “moderate” with an elevation gain of 741 feet.  This trail begins about 8 miles from our Lodge and as the name implies, ends at Puck Lake.  People enjoy this particular trail for hiking, walking, nature trips, bird watching, and riding horses.
