Crater Lake was formed when a volcano erupted and emptied out it's middle! All the water in the lake is from precipitation. No water goes in, and none goes out.
The color of the water is such a deep blue color. That is snow along the edges of the lake. In fact, there is a road that goes clear around the lake and it had been closed until just two weeks before my trip because of snow!
The island is Wizard Island. There are boat tours out to the island. The boats had to be lifted into the lake by helicopter!
Here we are at the edge!
This little ground squirrel was such a model! He posed for several pictures before scampering off with his pinecone treasure.
