Crater Lake

Laura and I up on the rim of Crater Lake in June 2024. There was still a thick bank of snow along the rim even in early summer, and the water was that deep blue you only really believe once you see it in person. It was a clear afternoon, around 59, with almost no wind. A few days earlier we had been around Mount Shasta, about a three and a half hour drive south.

Crater Lake fills the caldera of an old volcano, and the rim still holds snow late into the season. We stood there and looked down at that blue water.
