Oregon Skyway - Crater Lake National Park Scenic Bus Tours

Oregon Skyway Oregon Skyway Scenic Bus ToursGeneral Description

Now you can experience the view from the top of the Cascade mountain range and the absolute beauty of mystical Crater Lake all in one day. Better yet... you don't even have to do the driving.

Willamette Pass Express offers luxurious motorcoach service from Eugene for groups and individuals during the Oregon Skyway summer season. Oregon Skyway is the scenic gondola service to the top of Eagle Peak located at Willamette Pass Resort. From the summit your view will include lush forests, pristine mountain lakes, and volcanoes of the central Cascade range. Perhaps you will even catch a glimpse of one of the many eagles that give the peak its name.

On your tour, you will pass by several lakes and waterfalls, including a stop at Salt Creek Falls, the second highest waterfall in Oregon and a gem of the Cascade Mountains.

At Willamette Pass Resort travelers of all ages and abilities can enjoy the scenic trip aboard one of the gondolas. Lunch will be served at this stop and can be enjoyed at the summit patio or inside the spacious base lodge.

From the ski area your tour will transit south to one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Crater Lake will amaze you whether it is your first trip or one of many. The ‘blue" of Crater Lake defies description. Your stop here includes a chance to investigate the national historic Crater Lake lodge and viewpoints.

During our journey back to Eugene, we will stop at Odell Lake allowing everyone to get out and see the sites and nearby lake establishments.

This unique journey is available for only $69 and includes bus, deli box lunch, Oregon Skyway lift access, and Crater Lake Park entrance fees..

Be sure to purchase your tickets in advance because space is limited!
