We drove up to Crater Lake one day while here in Southern Oregon.  Luckily we checked the weather before leaving, because it was in the high 70s at the RV park, but barely 34 up at Crater Lake where there’s still 10′ of snow piled up along the road and blocking the entire first floor of buildings in the area!

Crater Lake was formed by a volcanic eruption approx. 7,700 years ago.  Native American sandals were found in nearby caves buried in the ash, so there were people living in the area when the volcano erupted.

Here are some pictures of the area we saw around Crater Lake:
