Arriving on Memorial Day, snow still covered most of the high area and the weather was overcast. We stayed at the historic lodge and woke the next morning to a bright sunny day. The blue of the lake was intense and the crowds were gone.
Sincerely,

Crater Lake sits in a rugged portion of the Cascade Range and is famous for its deep, jewel-blue water. An impressive 20-mile ring of cliffs encloses the basin and adds to its magnificence.
