Crater Lake










One great secret of the United States - Crater Lake. My mom and I were flabbergasted at the immense beauty this not-so-well known place has. Formed 6000 years ago from an erupted volcano, the crater is about 6 miles across and a tecnicolor blue molded with turquoise that is just unbelievable. The lake's beauty combined with the fact that the park has a TON of snow left made it very special. I HIGHLY recommend you go, and when you do, hike down to the water (1 mile down) - there is only one trail down. Also, go in July or August because then you can take the only boat allowed on the lake around the perimiter and to the mini-volcano island in the middle.
