Looking for a unique way to experience a national park that is the perfect balance of adventure and exploration but doesn’t involve sitting in the car and driving from lookout point to lookout point all day or spending four days backpacking in the wilderness? We’ve got just the thing: ride your bike around the Rim Road at Crater Lake National Park! “That’s crazy!” you say? “It’s too hilly and there are cars!” you say? Well, no, it’s totally not crazy! And yes, it’s hilly, but if you plan strategically and get to Crater Lake in early September, you absolutely can ride (almost) the entire rim road with no cars at all! It’s the totally FREE Ride the Rim event and it. was. baller.
