The phantom ship

They call the rocks The Phantom Ship. Since many of the signs had no information (just a blank piece of wood) we had to make up our own stories. This one was about unsuccessful pirates whose ship sank.

I had a passenger!

Back to the lake

Mt. Thielson

A rock spire left behind from one of the volcanoes. They say it acts like a lightening rod. Not today!

The caldera is surrounded by tall volcanic peaks.

Lake Views

Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the US at over 1900 feet. It was formed by volcanic eruption and has no streams or water coming in. It is filled by rain and snow melt. It’s clear to almost 150 feet because there is no sentiment to muddy the water. There is a turnout every 1/4 mile and we stopped at most of them. It was nice to see a variety of perspectives.

It was a bit breezy.
