Enterin Crater Lake National Park

Elevation was around 7500′ and several of the hills still had snow.

Our first glimpse…

The lake partly fills a nearly 1,958 foot deep caldera that was formed around 7,700 BC by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama.

Inside the lodge…

The main fireplace is HUGE

Another fireplace in the lobby…

Lots of photos and history as you walk through the lodge

Front of the Lodge…

So BLUE!

Back on the road…and we just entered California and Dana got to see her first wildfire…

Mt Shasta (14,179′). The second-highest peak in the Cascade Range and the fifth highest peak in California.
