Crater Lake National Park, nestled in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, is a captivating natural wonder known for its deep blue lake and stunning volcanic landscape. The park centers around Crater Lake, a caldera formed by the collapse of an ancient volcano. With its crystal-clear waters and sheer cliffs that reach over 1,900 feet, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States. Visitors can admire the breathtaking views from Rim Drive, hike through old-growth forests, and witness the vibrant wildflower displays during the summer months. Crater Lake National Park offers a serene and awe-inspiring retreat for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Be sure to visit the park website for current conditions and closures.
