Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake National Park is located in southern Oregon and is home to the deepest lake in the United States. The lake was formed more than 7,700 years ago when the volcano Mount Mazama erupted and collapsed, forming a deep caldera. The lake is crystal blue and filled with snowmelt, giving it a unique and beautiful appearance. Visitors can take hikes around the lake, enjoy the views from the rim, or take a boat tour across the lake. There are also several campgrounds and lodges in the park, providing a great place to stay while exploring the area. Crater Lake National Park is a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore a stunning and unique landscape.
"the grandest of all special temples of Nature" and "the only one of the world's great parks that could not be improved."
- John Muir
"In God's wildness lies the hope of the world - the great fresh unblighted, unredeemed wilderness. The galling harness of civilization drops off, and wounds heal ere we are aware.
-Theodore Roosevelt
