Crater Lake - Oregon

Crater lake is just unreal. the kind of perfection you see in postcards. We drove up along the mountain, knowing that on the other side there is a giant crater which is filled up by water from the melting snow. But the moment we caught our first glimpse, we were both speechless. The sheer brilliance of "blue" is unbelievable. The clarity of water that is so deep (and stagnant) even more spectacular. There is no inlet to or outlet from the lake, and yet it is pure and perfect.the water sparkles and you can see the velvety ripples created by the one boat that operates in the lake. We hiked up two trails. one to the top and one to the bottom (Cleetwood cove). Both were equally spectacular.those who can swim can actually jump off a rock into the clear water (but it's apparently freezing)Overall - it's one of those places you'd never want to leave......
