Oregon, Crater Lake National Park
















We arrived in Klamuth Falls and decided to take the drive to Crater Lake NP. It is hard to believe how different the weather can be when there is a reasonably small elevation change.

The amounts of snow on the ground in the park are phenomenal! It was quite cloudy, cold, spitting rain, and the piles of snow drifted around the Visitor Center was huge! We presumed the weather would allow for a nice hike around Crater Lake, but we were wrong. I cannot recall the last time we were here, but it must have been in August or September because it was dry, clear and almost hot. Completely different today....we'll have to come back in the fall.
