Description
A beautiful day at Crater Lake National Park in Southern Oregon. This image shows the deep blue lake and Wizard Island.
Crater Lake National Park is the only National Park in Oregon. This park is at an elevation between 5,000 and 7,000 feet. In the Winter it is common to get total snowfall around 150 inches and when they clear the roads it is piled at the side at heights that blow your mind, especially when you are driving to the park, say in February or March. There is a rim drive around the lake and it is usually not fully plowed until July because of the volume of snow. Usually the snow is so high that the buildings at the parking lot are all but obliterated from view. There is Winter access however and people who are into Winter Recreation can visit and have a lot of fun and good exercise. This image was taken in August and it was in the 70's and the sky as you can see had fluffy clouds in it. Perfect weather for seeing the mountains in the distance and reflections in the lake. I got to travel around the rim that day as a passenger and we stopped often to take pictures. I had a wonderful time and hope to go back soon.
