Crater Lake

On our way back to the Bay Area we made one more stop at Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the United States and 9th deepest in the entire world.  

The water from this lake is from rain and snow.  Since there is no sediments from incoming rivers or streams, the lake is a radiant "stop in your tracks and audibly gasp" kind of blue.  Given the "Test of Clarity" the naked eye could see a black and white disk from over 140 feet below surface level.  

Although there are many hikes down to the bottom of the lake, our tired travel bodies admired the scene from above.




Can you spot the phantom ship? but really it's just some rocks.
