The Watchman Peak in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

After the scorching heat of Death Valley last week, we’re cooling off during Week 5 of our summer road trip here at southern Oregon’s Crater Lake National Park. That tallest peak, on the western shore of Crater Lake, is known as the Watchman. A trail less than a mile long leads up to the peak, where a lookout station acts as a wildfire observation deck for park rangers. Since civilian visitors to the park can also visit the Watchman Lookout Station, we’re planning to take in the stunning views it offers of the park and the still waters of Crater Lake.

Let us know on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, where we'll be posting regular updates on our national parks road trip. And don't forget to check back on the Bing homepage each Friday to see our favorite photo from the park we’ll be visiting that week.
