We finish our National Park portion of this cross country tour by spending two nights and one spectacular day at Crater Lake National Park in south central Oregon.
Crater Lake was formed 7900 years ago by a volcano erupting and leaving a crater or caldera (“bathtub” our park ranger Sue told us) which is filled with snow and rainwater. The sights invite panoramic photos, so here are a few…
The park gets 44 feet of snow annually and currently in the last week of June, there are 41 inches of snow on the ground.
We say goodbye to Crater Lake and the rest of the National Parks and Lodges that we have visited during this trip Monday morning and travel on. First a short stop in Portland Oregon to visit Powell's Books and stop at a Roadfood choice of which there are several.
Next we spend a short week with daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter Abby, David and Julia in Seattle.
