We decided to take advantage of the clear day and hike up Garfield Peak to catch the sunset. It was extremely windy and cold at the top (Oct 9, 2021) but the view was so worth it. We started from the Crater Lake Lodge at about 5:15pm and got to the top at around 6:20pm with plenty of photo breaks in between. Don’t forget to bring a headlamp if you plan to do the sunset hike, it will get very dark when coming back down.
