West Coast Road Trip: Crater Lake

We squirmed with anticipation as we ascended over 7,000 ft above sea level. The first sight of Crater Lake gave us goosebumps. About 4 and a half hours south of Portland lies our nation's deepest and arguably most beautiful lake. It's an old volcano that erupted over 7,700 years ago. The views, unmatchable. The water, bluer than Tobias Funke.

Next stop, Jedediah Smith Redwoods in Northern California. Stay gold Oregon.
