Crater Lake

This weekend's trip was to Crater Lake. Crater Lake was made from a volcano, Mount Mazama, that erupted over 7,700 years ago. It is the deepest lake in the U.S. It is the most spectacular thing I have ever seen. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did.

We followed the North Umpqua River to get to Crater Lake. I had the chance to revisit two of the falls that I had previously seen. Also, we stopped at the lookout point that was 6 feet under snow last time I was there. At the top we had a great view of Mount Thielson and Diamond Lake, which has since thawed. Check out my previous picture as a comparison.
