National Park #6-Crater Lake

WOW! Crater Lake National Park is really beautiful and the color of the lake is the most wonderful blue I have ever seen. We are glad to be back in the snowy mountains. The weather is perfect. I take the following comments from the park brochure. "Crater Lake rests in the shattered remnants of a volcano called Mount Mazama, which erupted and collapsed into itself 7,700 years ago. " We hiked to the top of Mount Scott, the highest point in the park, for exceptional views. We could even see Mt. Shasta in California. You must all see this park someday!
