Crater Lake
Crater Lake is sort of interesting in that there isn't that much to do and it's in the middle of nowhere, but it's such a spectacle that it's worth the 1hr drive up and down, even for short visit. The pics came back even more spectacular than I remember, and that has nothing to do with the photographer. It's truly one of a kind. And it really is that blue. Incredible.
The drive coming off the mountain from Crater Lake was a real treat. The entire time I thought of how cool it would be on a bike due to its flow and blend of turns and grade while *not* being too gnarly. Towards the bottom we happened upon this portion of the Upper Rogue River Gorge, which was serviced by a small viewing park. It made for a nice and scenic 20min break (even though the elder slept through it; he refused to wake up)

falls on the lake road. also a very effective mosquito nursery |
I know it's not overly apparent, but there is a bald eagle in this pic. Seek and find. |
The same bald eagle can be found in this pic. Seek and find. |
