Contrasting the beautiful, sunny day we had on the Rogue River was our misty, overcast afternoon at Crater Lake National Park. The six-mile wide, 2,000-foot-deep lake was formed when Mt. Mazama erupted and collapsed into itself and it is the deepest lake in the U.S. Only a small portion of Rim Drive (the 33-mile road that circles the lake) was open due to still being closed from snow. The temperatures barely reached a high of 40 degrees. While we couldn't experience the full vista of cliffs rising 2,000 feet above the lake, the view was still very beautiful, almost serene in the hovering mist.
