Car
To reach Vidae Falls by car, start by heading towards Crater Lake National Park. If you're coming from Medford, take Highway 62 East for approximately 60 miles until you reach the park entrance. Once inside the park, follow Rim Drive. Vidae Falls is located near the southern part of the rim road, approximately 5 miles from the park entrance. Look for the Vidae Falls viewpoint sign, and park in the designated area. Note that there is an entrance fee to Crater Lake National Park, which is $30 per vehicle, valid for 7 days.
Public Transportation and Hiking
If you're relying on public transportation, take a bus from Medford to the nearest town (likely Klamath Falls) and then look for shuttle services that can take you into Crater Lake National Park. It’s advisable to check the shuttle schedule in advance, as they may not run frequently. From the shuttle drop-off point, you will need to hike approximately 1.5 miles to reach Vidae Falls. Ensure you wear good hiking shoes and bring water and snacks, as this part of the journey may take around 30-45 minutes of walking.
