National Parks - Oregon

Crater Lake National Park

9/8/1988 Drove to Crater Lake past spectacular scenery only to find more spectacular at Crater Lake. Had a picnic lunch overlooking a beautiful sight and then drove around the entire rim of the crater (about 30 miles). Unbelievable sights. Took what the sign said was an easy hike - was a little difficult breathing because of being up so high and the thin air - also quite warm but when we got to what we were hiking to it was more than worth it - a view to die for! Beautiful. Had a picnic coffee break at the lake ... .

The deep lake

The color is amazing!
