Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain
Accessible	0.8 Miles One-way	1,837 est.	190

Steps are estimated from the hike distance and a difficulty-based stride length.

Formula: distance in miles × 5,280 feet ÷ stride length

Stride length is adjusted because tougher trails usually shorten each step:

Difficulty	Stride length
Unknown	2.2 ft
Accessible	2.3 ft
Easy	2.6 ft
Moderate	2.1 ft
Difficult	2.0 ft
More Difficult	1.9 ft
Strenuous	1.8 ft

The result is rounded to the nearest whole step and shown as an estimate.

Notes

Short uphill walk through a meadow to the rim of Crater Lake. Walk along the rim path for great views of the Phantom Ship. Use caution near cliff edges.
