Crater Lake!

Crater Lake and Wizard Island

Crater Lake with the largest of its two islands, Wizard Island. We viewed the lake first from the lodge area - it was unbelievable. I had heard about it, read about it, and seen pictures of it - but it still has to be seen to be believed. The deep blue was so brilliant in the strong afternoon sun coming over my shoulder.

I wandered around taking pictures, Brenda went to the gift shop, and the boys fed the chipmunks. They had rather feed chipmunks than see any view - but we were glad they enjoyed it. August 16, 1982.

The tip of Mt. Thielson can be seen over the wall of Crater Lake. It is to the north of us. August 16, 1982.

Jeff and Mark at Crater Lake

This photo was taken on the wall across from the lodge. This was about at the location of our first incredulous views of the unbelievably deep blue water. The largest of the two islands, Wizard Island can be seen. The deep blue was so brilliant in the strong afternoon sun coming over my shoulder. August 16, 1982.
