Garfield Peak Trail

The trail to the summit of Garfield Peak begins from Rim Village at an elevation of 7,050 feet. It leads eastward contouring the ridge above Crater Lake. The track turns northward one half mile from the trailhead and begins to climb. It ascends the northwestern ridge of Garfield Peak then turns eastward. Gaining the northern ridge crest the route continues to climb to the 8,060-foot summit. Views from this lofty peak south of Crater Lake include the lake, Phantom Ship and terrain south. Be prepared for a difficult climb along this trail.
