Anyone got a feel for Crater Lake in the last week of May? Have a chance to spend the night there on a road trip and the NPS site says the rim road doesn't open until June. I'm curious if that's a hard rule or they go ahead and open it whenever the snow retreats enough. Mazama campground opens the 24th and I'll be in the area on the 29th so I assume I'll at least be able to find a place to sleep.

Available webcams kind of show a mixed bag, the crater itself doesn't seem to have a ridiculous amount of snow but some of the road cameras show 5-8 feet.

Basically if they 100% won't open until July I'll pass the area by. But if there's a chance of getting in there I'll keep an eye on conditions.

southern oregon just got a huge snow storm about 2 weeks ago. we've been getting really weird spring/summer winter storms the past 3 years or so, snow in april in the valley, freezing temps in june. the road in doesn't go too high above sea level, it's in good shape maintenance wise. you -should- be fine, but if we get a blizzard in mid may the road may be kinda sketch.

looking at the site, the munsen valley road is open year round at goes up to the crater
