Departure meeting for the Crater Lake Snowshoe. (Important Parent breakout for those signed up for the Snowshoe to confirm the trip as the road to the Crater Lake rim has been closed again for days with more snow coming in this week.)
Saturday-Sunday, March 18-19, 2023, Crater Lake National Park Snowshoe Trip
Please arrive by 7:45 a.m. for an 8:00 a.m. March 18th departure from Wesley Church for the Crater Lake Snowshoe. All participants should bring their personal or rental snowshoes and a sack lunch for Saturday.
The plan is to travel as determined at the Parent Committee Meeting. (Either I-5 to Canyonville, then Highway 227 to Highway 62 to the south entrance of the National Park or alternatively Highway 58, 97, 138, 230, and 62 - usually the preferred route.) Adult drivers should have four wheel drive or front wheel drive vehicles and traction devices or carry chains. (The National Park requires traction devices or carry chains.)
This year there is a $20 admission in the winter at the park gate, unless you display a federal pass. After the Visitor's Center and lunch, we will snowshoe out along the rim. Overnight Saturday, March 18th will be at the Crater Lake Resort, 50711 OR-62, Chiloquin/Fort Klamath, Oregon with return on Sunday, March 19th after a final snowshoe.
Scouts will lodge overnight in the Resort's Hamilton Lodge where there is a fireplace/space heater, but concrete floor, so sleeping pads or air mattresses should be brought. At least five adjacent cabins (with restrooms) will be staffed by adults, with details at the troop meeting. Crater Lake Resort is eight miles from the Park's south boundary and about 22 miles from the lake rim for the snowshoe.
Due to the distance and winter driving conditions, we will be taking minimum gear and this will be a troop cook for dinner on Saturday, January 14 and breakfast on Sunday, January 15th, in the lodge at a $7. charge. Please advise if you are bringing your own food to satisfy dietary restrictions. Please pay at the time of departure; check or exact change is very helpful. Don't forget to bring your own sack lunch for Saturday!
The troop can arrange a half-price rate for any family wishing to stay an extra night at the Crater Lake Resort.
Rental snowshoes for the trip can be rented at Berg's Ski Shop, 367 13th Avenue, Eugene. These will be individual rentals paid individually at personal expense, but charged at the rate of $10 per day of actual use. Ask Berg's to put tape on the equipment and mark your name on the tape for easy identification of equipment with group transport.
Go in with a parent to reserve, be sized, pay, and for the parent to sign the required release at Berg's. (A parent or guardian must sign.) Snowshoe rentals need to be picked up at Berg's on Friday, January 13th (11 a.m. - 6 p.m.) - the earlier the better to avoid the later afternoon crowd, but typically there is not much of a wait for snowshoes from their large supply. Returns must be made on Monday, January 16th before the 6:00 p.m. closing at Berg's, as they are closed on Sundays.
