## Direct answers
- Do I need a tour for Crater Lake? Not always. Some visits are self-guided with a ticket; others are guided only. Check the official Crater Lake site for the current product.
- Should I book in advance? Yes on busy days. Official timed entry and licensed tour slots sell out, especially in peak season.
- How long should I allow? A focused visit is often 1-3 hours. Adding a guided tour, nearby museums, or a climb makes it a half day or more.
- Where do I buy tickets? Use the official venue or park website, or a licensed operator named there. Avoid unnamed street sellers.
