Today we took a road trip to Crater Lake in Oregon. The foliage along the way was breathtaking. The trip took us 2 hours via Phil's Fastenal truck. We were not prepared for how beautiful and astonishing the view was from 7800 feet. The water was blue and calm--no waves to be seen. We drove around the rim, and each vantage point was better than the next. This truly is a wonder of the world. Here are a few pictures from our day. Keep in mind this lake is 1900 feet deep, the deepest in North America.
There were prescribed forest fires along the highway
outside the park.
This is the beginning of the Rogue River
Just an idea of our drive
The Phantom Ship in Crater Lake
Be careful-this is the water, not the sky
The Wizard's Hat, which is the cone of the old volcano.
Notice the drop off of the floor, which is evident by the change in colors.
