Crater Lake — Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2000

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West
Drove to the head of Money Creek to this unofficial trailhead. The Money Creek road is in pretty good shape all the way to the end, a couple of rough spots where landslide debris was cleared - but should be passable to passenger cars. The route to Crater Lake seemed easier to follow this year, possibly more feet have trampled it down. Somewhat brushy, the first part was pretty wet due to the fog and mist that continued all day. There are a few big blow-downs on the way, but the route has been visibly trampled around them. There are some very steep sections of this trail, and very mucky-muck sections as it nears the lake. Probably not a good trail for the little ones. Crater Lake was quiet and peaceful in the fog.
