Crater Lake National Park

  Crater Lake National Park, Oregon
Sunday, July 1, 2007

This morning I drove north to Crater Lake National Park in Oregon.  The lake was incredible.  It had a blue color I have never seen before.  So bright blue and clear!  Close ot the shore where I came in on, when I looked down I saw Wizard Island.  There were so many amazing colors of blues and greens along the shore of the island.  I continued driving around the rim and stopping for fantastic views done in the lake.
 
 
 
 


















From Crater Lake I continued driving north on 97 until I crossed into Newberry Volcanic National Monument.  I drove to the summit and looked down into where it had previously erupted.  I walked around the rim and then down to an overlook to see an extensive lava flow.  It was like a river of black rock and in the background where fantastic views of snow capped mountains.















In the evening I stayed in Bend, Oregon.
