Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the USA, measuring 1,949 feet deep at the deepest point.
It often has water clarity to 100 feet.
Because of its depth & clarity it is always a deep blue color.
It is a truly a sight to behold.
The lake was formed when Mt. Mazama erupted into
a volcano and then collapsed thousands of years ago,
leaving a 5 by 6 mile basin that filled with snowmelt and rain.
We were lucky enough to stay in the national park lodge
which sits on the rim of the lake.
Which meant I was able to snap a photo of the lake at sunrise.
