We spent our Labor Day at Crater Lake! It's a National Park that is about a 2.5 hour drive from Eugene. (Unless you hit traffic on the way home. Sigh.) We've been wanting to go for awhile and today we did it before life passed us by! It was a bit hazy from the recent fires, but it was still gorgeous.
Trooper was so excited to get there.
The lake was formed by the eruption of Mount Mazama over 7,000 years ago. After it imploded, the caldera filled with water. It is the clearest lake in North America. That island, Wizard Island, is also a volcano. (Dormant, we hope.)
This picture cracks us up. I guess he was squinting because of the sun.
What a nut!!
