Gary and I could not believe our eyes! Mom and Dad had been to Crater Lake and wanted us to experience its beauty. I think our jaws dropped opened, at first I didn't think it was real, really it was so still and calm just the reflection of the sky and clouds could be seen in the water.
What a sight to behold, God had his hands on this one for sure. Some quick history of Crater Lake; The lake was formed approximately 7,700 years ago when a 12,000-foot-tall volcano collaped follwing a major eruption. The lake depth is 1,943 feet and width 4.5 to 6 miles, annual snowfall is 44 feet. Enjoy the pictures and click on them if you like to enlarge.
Back to the car to put our souvenirs away. We all fell in love with Oregon what a beautiful state.
Back on the road again. Next stop Port Angles Washington.

Again, you have captured this beautiful place ... we love visiting there ... occasionally the W. Coast pulls at our heartstrings, but we are happily displaced. TTFN ~Marydon
Wow! That is hard to believe. It looks photoshopped because it's just too beautiful! We lived in Eugene,Oregon back in the '80's while my husband was in Grad School. We LOVED our three years there!
What fabulous photos! I went to Crater lake years ago and it is beyond description! What a wonderful trip!
You have surely visited God's Country...and your photos take my breath away...can't wait to see the next place!

What beautiful photos of a beautiful part of our country!
I'm really enjoying your beautiful photos. Wow, what a great time you must have had. I love road trips.
Hi again! What beautiful pictures of Crater Lake...so peaceful and serene. We took a snowmobile trip up to the western side during winter two years ago and it was just fantastic. Quite, nobody around but the four of us (we went with friends). Had lunch back at Diamond Lake...was a trip worth taking! You were pretty close to our back yard! Well, have a great week,
xxxooo
