The morning we left to drive to Crater Lake from Grants Pass the R V Park looked like it was in a cloud.
The road looked just the same. The whole area was in a cloud. Really pretty but a little strange to drive in.
Yes folks...there is still snow in them there hills!
Crater Lake was beautiful. The air was cold around 41 degrees.
The Lake is at an elevation of 4169 feet give or take but the peaks around it are as high as 8600 feet. The lake look like a bowl of blue jello.
To see the lake you had to walk up a snowy embankment. So as I took these pictures Steve was hanging onto my coat tail so I would not slide into the lake. We met some students from Holland who were on a three week trip through the area. They were interesting to talk with and I took their picture for them all stand at the edge of Crater Lake.
The Rouge River rambles through southern Oregon and is usually a wide meandering rafting river but....
coming down from the Crater Lake area the river sources through a gorge about 500 feet long and is quite a site.
The drive was like being in a tree tunnel;)
