• You are considering getting an interagency annual or lifetime pass (ask about pass options and eligibility when you arrive). 

Please ensure you select the correct pass before you proceed to payment.

Crater Lake sits at an elevation of 6,900 feet (2103m) in the Cascades of Southern Oregon. Winters bring an average of 50 feet (15m) of snow to the park which can last well into the summer. Park conditions continually change, and we strongly encourage all persons to check the park's Current Conditions web page before planning a trip to Crater Lake, regardless of the time of year.

Passes are non-transferable, non-refundable, not replaceable if lost or stolen, and are void if altered or reproduced. We encourage visitors to check the weather forecast prepare for weather conditions. We are unable to issue refunds due to weather.
