My Epic Adventure: Biking the rim of Crater Lake National Park


Listen Later

Rim Drive in Crater Lake National Park is the scenic 33 mile route that goes around the entirety of the lake. Biking Rim Drive offers an incredible route filled with breathtaking views of the lake, canopies of trees and challenging elevation changes. Closed for a good portion of the year due to snow, Rim Drive is a bucket list ride for cyclists who find time to do it when the weather and conditions are just right.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we kick off our new sub-series, My Epic Adventure, with Vickie’s recent ride around the rim of Crater Lake.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • Logistics and breakdown of riding Rim Drive. (Disclaimer: this is a pretty challenging ride).
  • Training and preparation needed for the ride.
  • Lodging options in and around the park.
  • Details for the official 2023 Ride the Rim event.

  • Subscribe to Peak Northwest anywhere you listen to podcasts.
