Mount Mazama

When you hear about how Crater Lake was formed, it's almost hard to believe that the Earth has that much power. But it does! The explosion that made the mountain collapse (eventually forming the lake) deposited ash as far away as Saskatchewan.

The lake itself is a beautiful deep blue color. It's the deepest lake in the Unied States at 1,949 ft. This is actually my second visit to the National Park. Dad and I came here in 2009. I remembered it.

We're almost done with our summer road trip and will be back home tomorrow.
