My husband and I are avid cyclists and our 25th anniversary was this year. We had always wanted to do a road bike tour. The weather in Oregon was perfect and none of the roads had heavy traffic. It really was the ideal place to ride.

Perched on the rim of Crater Lake, you will find no better place to take in the majestic view while relaxing with a drink on the porch than the unique and historic Crater Lake Lodge. The lodge was originally constructed in 1915 and retains much of the character from that era. The rooms are relatively small and do not have phones, televisions, or air conditioning, although the incredible scenery just outside your door more than makes up for the rustic feeling of the accommodations.

FAQs

Summer is the best time for an Oregon bike tour, as skies are typically crystal clear blue combined with very low humidity (10-20%). Daytime temperatures can be pleasantly temperate to quite hot (high 70s to mid 90s) with evenings dropping to the high 30s in Crater Lake National Park and the low 50s in Bend and Sisters. Rain is fairly infrequent, but it's always good to be prepared for the occasional thunderstorm just in case. View our Packing List
