Shaped by long-gone volcanos, central Oregon seduces travelers with spots like Crater Lake, part of the national park of the same name that is cloaked with powder snow in winter and dotted with walkers come summer months.
This trail descends into Myrtle Creek Drainage and dissects Myrtle Creek Trail No. 308. This trail provides good scenic viewing as trail descends into canyon.
