Crater Lake, OR

(Fort Klamath, OR)  Hi 75 Lo 43
The following are some views of Crater Lake.
We drove around the whole lake clockwise.
Thats the best way to go so you aren't so close the
edge.

Formed around 7700 yrs ago by the collapse of the volcano
Mount Mazama. 
The lake is the deepest in the U.S. 
Here is a look at one of two islands and its 
called Wizard Island.



Here's a little friend hoping for a snack.
Between the trees and out in the water you can see
an island.  It's called the Phantom Ship.  We thought
it looked more like a castle.
Tried to see Mt Shasta but the clouds weren't helping.

  1. You had a nice day for visiting. We were there on October 2 last year and enjoyed a great day too. Wondered where that last photo was taken from. Looks kinda like Diamond Peak.

  2. Crater Lake is so beautiful - especially in person! Must get back there when it isn't so cold. Was there in June - snow stacked up everywhere; some roads closed.
