I have been eagerly anticipating this weekend for a long time now and it has finally arrived. The snow on the mountain roads has melted and the short window of a season to explore Crater Lake National Park in Southern Oregon is here. Crater Lake is a massive caldera lake formed almost 8,000 years ago after the collapse of the volcano Mt. Mazama. It is the deepest lake in the United States and considered to be the cleanest large body of water in the World, surrounded by old-growth forests and meadows.
I have been in awe of the photographs of its crystal clear deep cerulean blue water and I am so excited to get to see it with my own eyes. We are heading off to camp by the lake with some friends for a weekend full of hikes, swimming, and campfire stories. With my time in Oregon nearing its end, this is a weekend to be treasured. Enjoy yours!
