CRATER LAKE! Don't you just love this picture? And this day wasn't even a good one for pictures. The piece of land to the right is Wizard Island. There's a boat dock down a steep path to the lake. It's like an 18 degree slope and a real effort to climb back up to the rim of the lake. Anyway, the boat is operated by the Forestry Service and for a fee takes riders around the lake. We did this once and were not sorry as the beauty from lake level is stunning.
Crater Lake has snow until the middle of July. We once visited in late June and there were 7 foot high snow banks alongside the road into the park. If you ever get the chance, visit Crater Lake.
