Farewell to Crater Lake Natl. Park

Well as we bid farewell to Crater Lake National Park we take away lots of beautiful memories and pictures too!

Today we finally made it to Crater Lake and actually saw the Lake in the Crater – it was spectacular.  We weren’t able to go all the way around the rim of the crater because there was still to much snow and the road was closed, but we don’t feel cheated at all.  The extra couple of days waiting for clear weather was worth it.  We went in the West Entrance and exited the North Entrance which took us through a Pumice Desert

and dumped us right out by Diamond Lake. P6110034

Beautiful, beautiful.  We also figured out how to get to National Creek Falls today.  A couple of days ago we took a wrong turn and ended up missing it.

So to say we had a fabulous time is an understatement.  We hiked our fannies off (I wish), up and down trails, up and down stairs (which BTW are killer on the knees and calves) and drove all over the place in search of wildflowers and covered bridges.  I hope you have enjoyed the journey with us and stay tuned for more.  Tomorrow we are off to see the Spruce Goose in McMinnville, Oregon.

Happy Trails & Ice Cream Too – Bonnie & Glen
