Crater Lake National Park (Oregon)

Crater Lake in Oregon has is the bluest lake we've ever seen. It also still has snow! We stopped at a pull off, that had a lot of people, to see what everyone was looking at. It was the first view of the lake and it took our breath away. As I understand it, the lake was formed by a volcano that basically erupted and sank creating the lake. We viewed the lake from several of the pull offs along Rim Drive, visited the gift shop and then planned to do a 2 mile hike down to the lake so we could take a boat tour. Unfortunately the boat was broken down and then it started to thunder and lightening. After several games of cribbage to try to wait out the storm, we decided to postpone our hike and headed back to the campground at Diamond Lake. The rain subsided and we were able to have a great cookout over the open fire complete with smores......just like old times.Okumaya devam et
