vacation: Crater Lake

Next was Crater Lake, in Oregon, near Klamath Falls.


Our first view of the lake behind the shield wall of rock was at the south shore, because that's where the road to the west comes in. The lake was very blue and huge.


Farther along the road, the overlooks had a better view of Wizard Island, the last remnant of the volcano that grew within the blown-out crater.


In the rocks at the overlooks there were chipmunks and signs saying not to eat the wildlife, but the peanut shells, etc. on the rocks were testimony that people don't read signs.
