Skiing
& Snowmobiling
Skiing
- Crater Lake provides spectacular cross-country skiing
with several marked ski trails available in the winter at
beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
Trails
are patrolled by park service personnel and by ski patrol
volunteers. It is best to call ahead for trail and weather
conditions. These trails are not groomed, providing skiers
with a wilderness type backcountry experience. Always
include map and compass, waterproof clothing, extra mittens
and socks, plenty of water, and high energy food.
Snowmobiling
- Snow laden trees, open meadows, deep snow, pristine
vistas and 150 miles of well-groomed, uncluttered snowmobile
trails guarantee the ultimate winter vacation.
The magnificent scenery of this winter
wonderland provides for a truly awesome experience. With
plenty of room to get out and ride, this remote snowy
region creates a perfect winter getaway for visitors from
all over the world.
After a thrilling day of snowmobiling or
skiing, return to Union Creek Resort for a hot, delicious
dinner and a good night's sleep in a warm, comfortable
bed. You'll be ready to go out and do it all again.
