It is still
summer (although the recent Northern California weather does not reflect it),
and it is still vacation season. So, we’re going on another road trip, and this
time were Northward-bound. Our first stop: Crater Lake in Oregon.
This stop
was actually from our trip to Mt. Bachelor (during early spring - see my first post). We were on our
way back from skiing and stopped at Crater Lake to enjoy the views. Crater Lake
is lake formed on the caldera of a collapsed volcano. It is known for its deep
blue color and water clarity. Crater Lake is probably one of the best-known
views in Oregon. However, it was snowing very hard, and we could barely see the two
islands on the lake. At least, I was able to get a T-shirt.
Summer is
probably the best time to see Crater Lake. I would love to return to Crater
Lake and spend some time hiking, taking photos, and just enjoying the scenery. It
is a long road trip from San Francisco. Driving to Weed, CA (where you take the
road to Crater Lake) is probably about five to six hours. It’s probably another
two and a half hours to the lake. Maybe next year…
For more
info, check out the Crater Lake National Park page or the Wikipedia article for the lake.
