Crater Lake National Park Oregon

Journey to a Land of Water Wind and Fire

Part C: Crater Lake National Park: An Overview

At last we arrived at Crater Lake National Park. We entered via the North Entrance and stopped at the Watchman Tower Overlook and, in the words of the National Park Service Newspaper handed us when we entered, had our first

"Wow."

However, in the interest of honesty, the above clip is not from our first view on the first day, rather it was taken the second day from Cloudcap. This is because the weather was much better the second day. On that first day, we were still following the bank of clouds and haze that had dogged us ever since we had been at Bandon.

Also in the interest of honesty, I must report that this clip does not do justice to the "Blue" of the water. It was much deeper than shown. However, with the "Point and Shoot" that I have, it was the best I could do (after all, remember folks, I am not a professional and this is not a professional site).

Nevertheless, enjoy what you see.
