Today Eric and I headed south to Crater Lake National Park and experienced views very different from The Big Obsidian Flow east of La Pine.
Getting anywhere is part of the fun.... Here are some of the signs along the way....
Eric swears the Do Not Enter sign is the largest one he's ever seen... He believes it's 10 foot square
Do Not Pass Snow Plows
On The Right
As Eric says, signs are for stupid people.....
Volcano Central, Oregon
Crater Lake is that a way....
Rocky upheaval was replaced by pumice dessert. We start to climb the mountain toward Crater Lake. Again, there was a lack of Guide Rails along some of the steep drop-offs.
Pumice Desert
They don't need no stinking Guide Rails
Here's a map of the roads around Crater Lake
with major viewing spots.
Crater Lake is so amazingly blue due the purity of the water. It is 1,932 feet deep at it's deepest point. It has no indigenous fish. It was stocked with trout and salmon from the late 1800s through the 1940s. You don't need a fishing license to fish here. There are no limits for the fish caught. You can keep the fish you catch.
I've been told the color of the water is azure
See the precipice to the left, Eric and I
walked out there to take pics.
What's left of Mount Mazama pokes
up out of the lake
