Things to Know

• Cell reception in the park and surrounding areas is limited. Be sure to carry a map or GPS.
• The park does not have a physical street address, so it can be hard to navigate here using some GPS systems. Try entering "Rim Village" as a town or waypoint, or entering the coordinates for Park Headquarters, which is 3 miles south of Rim Village:

42° 53' 48.91" North
122° 08' 03.08" West

• Be aware that the park's North Entrance is closed for about 7 months each year. It closes November 1 (or earlier, if there is significant snowfall). It opens sometime between mid-May and late June. Check the status on our current conditions page. The park's South Entrance and West Entrance are open year-round.
• Unleaded gas is available seasonally at the Mazama Village Store. Check our current conditions page for operating hours. The rest of the year, the closest gas stations are in the towns of Prospect (33 miles west of Park Headquarters) and Chiloquin (34 miles south of Park Headquarters).
