Wednesday, April 25th - Crater Lake National Park

After breakfast at the Kla-Mo-Ya Casino, we drove 40 miles up to Crater Lake National Park. The Rim Road was still closed. Snowplowing has just begun for the summer season. It takes three to four months to clear the 40-50 feet of snow on the Rim Road.

We were able to get to Rim Village which is the primary overlook on the south side of the lake. The view is incredible! The lake is the deepest in the US and was created 7,700 years ago when Mount Mazama blew its top and the mountain collapsed into the caldera.

Now we are back at the casino for the evening. Tomorrow we head back to the coast, Newport, OR to be specific.
