The Watchman is an easy hike located within Crater Lake National Park that takes you up to an incredible lake rim viewpoint. From the top you can see the whole lake and the mountains beyond!
The trailhead is large and there is also a lake rim viewing area there, so most people who are parked in the parking lot are just going to the viewing area and not actually hiking to the top of The Watchman. The trail starts at the southern end of the parking area and this section is also part of the Crater Lake Rim Trail. Keep in mind, dogs are NOT allowed on this trail!
