Crater Lake

Crater Lake has inspired people for hundreds of years. No place else on earth combines a deep, pure lake, so blue in color; sheer surrounding cliffs, almost two thousand feet high; two picturesque islands; and a violent volcanic past. It is a place of immeasurable beauty, and an outstanding outdoor laboratory and classroom.

(information from National Park Service)

Only the Road to the Rim & Highway 62 are opened...
The other roads are closed due to snow...

Bienvenue!

Amazing....

The snow piles up high...
Almost covering the windows...

Over 6ft of snow...

Still cold...
Can't see the blue just so yet...
Only a bit visible near the wizard island..
In Summer, it sure looks great!
