Wizard Island

As I was still feeling a bit crappy and Jo was starting to come down with it (hopefully not as badly), we had a gentle day cruising up the scenic byway into the Oregon mountains, stopping off at some impressive little waterfalls on the way. The highlight was definitely the public hot springs with a series of small pools gradually cooling as you worked your way down the hill side to the freezing river below (we stayed fairly high!). Another nice small camp site in the forest by a little waterfalls of incredibly clear water (it is the Clearwater River after all).

In the morning we drove the short distance to the stunning Crater Lake NP. I'm starting to feel a bit better but Jo is still a bit clammy & shivery so another lazy day involving cooking damper on the afternoon camp fire, although it ended up more like cake than bread! The following day we drove around the eastern rim road, checking out amazing views of Wizard Island and Phantom Ship.Read more
