WIZARD ISLAND: A Volcanic Island Hike in Crater Lake National Park, OR, USA!

My first visit out to the Wizard Island in Crater Lake National Park located in Oregon, USA!

A guided video tour of the hiking trail to the top - not all of it but a sampler so you can enjoy the beauty of Wizard Island. The trail is a 2.4 mile out and back hike which you can totally do with your three hour visitors pass so you can get that hike done in plenty of time. I undertook this adventure on Monday the 4th of September of 2023 having taken the Wizard Island Shuttle out to the Island at 12:30 PM... back at the Dock by 4:30-ish. An enjoyable experience and one I can highly recommend.

Not much wildlife out on the island though I do hope to get footage of the Mazama Newts, The Black Island Garter Snakes, Crayfish, Rainbow Trout and Kokanee Salmon. I even hope to get some fishing in at some point! The Mazama Newt is endangered so hands off the salamanders please! The Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrels have long ago conquered Wizard Island!

Wishing you and yours all the best - get out there and roll the bones! ~ Sean.
