The Crater Lake Lodging is the limiting factor for participating in this tour. There are still cabins at the Mazama Village.  This is 7.3 miles south from the lodge – about a 15 minute drive. Someone pre-registered with a cabin a Diamond Lake,  so that is another option.

Not much has changed.  in 2021 we held some club activities like Dinners, Arrive and Drives, SUV Drives and Autocross. We will follow state, government and PCA guidelines to keep activities as safe as possible. We will require the use of face masks/face coverings as mandated or recommended by PCA, CDC and state guidelines. PCA also requires the sign-off on a Communicable Disease Release for attendance at any club events.  As you know, there is no “zero risk” when dealing with COVID-19. 

Here is a document with Oregon PCA guidance updated on January 6, 2021.
