Crater Lake Morning

On a trip last summer down the Oregon coast to the California redwoods and back, we stopped at Crater Lake in central Oregon, arriving there at sunset one evening and leaving before noon the next day. Before leaving we drove nearly all the way around the crater.

Crater Lake is a National Park that features an old volcanic crater now filled with water. The old volcanic cone, now gone, is known as Mount Mazama, and the crater, with its cinder island, Wizard Island, is six miles across and the lake nearly 2000 feet deep, a fantastic place.
