I got to spend 3 great days at Crater Lake National Park while my girls were getting their Shakespeare fix in Ashland, Oregon \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 The Mazama car campground inside the park was great, big spots that weren’t too close together… best part was 3 days of day hiking all over the park \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Yes, the water REALLY IS that blue, impossible to describe and photos don’t quite do it justice. The first night there I hiked up to the Watchman fire lookout for sunset, beautiful! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the second day I took a boat ride around the lake. I was supposed to get 3 hours to hike around on Wizard Island but because of mechanical problems nobody was allowed to be dropped off on the island that day. Still, it was a great way to see the lake up close and personal. I hiked the Annie Creek trail after dinner for an evening stroll, got to see deer and marmots and lots of wildflowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the last morning there I was up at 4:30 to catch the sunrise at Cloud Cap overlook, then hiked up to the top of Mt. Scott, the highest point in the park at 8900+ feet elevation. I was the only one on the trail the whole time, beautiful views all around \ud83d\ude42  Definitely glad I got to spend time here and finally see it for myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
