Camping at Crater Lake
Crate Lake is beautiful.
Crazy beautiful, actually.
While walking around it, it is easy to find yourself gasping not only at the altitude, but also at the beauty.
We had a great weekend camping trip there.
Hiking and climbing still in our jammies.
We even took the steep trail down to the lake for the boat tour.
We found friends down there willing to relieve us of our heavy snack food burdens.
The lake was chilly though, so we bundled up...
...while the Ranger told us all about Crater Lake.
The trip back up the mountain though...wow! Most people were gasping and panting as they gained 700 ft of elevation on a 1.1 mile trail. Not Soren though.
No sir, he was so distracted picking up random pieces of wood to make into boats that he didn't even notice that he was climbing up the side of a mountain!

Welcome back to the blogging world. I knew something was wrong when I passed you in yearly totals of blogs. Of course it was only just yesterday that I did....I knew you would be back to claim the kingdom :D
ReplyDeleteI have recently discovered that I am an oxygen addict. If I get above 1000' in elevation I start jonesin' for a hit. But your pictures make it seem almost worth the while!
