Crater Lake

It is really best to see Crater Lake by boat

In July we spent a day at Crater Lake with friends from Olympia.  It was a terrible snow year, followed by a really warm summer.  The alpine meadows along the rim, which should be lush and full of wildflowers at this time of year were parched and brittle.  Distressing for me to see.  The boat ride was great though, well worth the cost and hassle.

It is THAT blue

Llao Rock and a part of Wizard Island

Still beautiful from the rim too
