We drove the west rim and north rim of Crater Lake today. The east rim is closed for construction. On the north rim, traffic was intermittently stopped (20-30 minutes each time) for tree work. Dead trees are cleared to protect the roadway.
About Crater Lake: it is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. 7700 years ago, Mt. Mazama collapsed and formed a huge caldera. It is the deepest lake in the U.S at almost 2000 feet. It is also one of the purest lakes and the color blue is magnificent. In the center of the lake is an island formed from magma. They have 44 feet of snow here annual.
