Back up to Oregon's only NP, Crater Lake

We spent the last day and a half driving and sauntering round this beautiful lake. The volcanic eruption that made the caldera was 100 times more powerful than St Helen's! It is the clearest lake in the world-you can see to a depth of about 140ft and is a lovely blue. Around the sometimes quite sheer drops along the rim was the occasional sign that said "falling may cause injury or death" . You betcha!

 









 
 
Some "hoodoos" left over as the ash eroded on the outside of the crater.
