Crater Lake National Park (OR)

Unfortunately, the day started with light drizzle, so no chance of flying. Therefore we decided to do a little sightseeing.


Crater Lake 













Crater Lake NP is only about 2 hours away from Medford (where we stayed for the night). It was a nice drive along the Rogue River and its Gorge with its forest full with large trees. Crater Lake was formed (only) 7700 years ago by a vulcanic eruption.The lake is with 590m the deepest lake in the US and ranks 9th in the world.
Some parts of the rim road where fogged in and some are still closed due to snow (at 2400m/ asl)

As we hope that toworrow the wx will allow flying at Woodrat, we returned to Medford.
