Standing water is not corruptible. But just scared BLUE~ Crater Lake National Park in Oregon, USA

The image is the first time while writing a travelogue, so a lot of trouble with the pictures 'color (color)'. Looks like you're feeling that day is more bluish, bluish as too ... really do not like what happens to believe the exact color coordinates of the 'GREAT DEEP BLUE': p?

USA / Western Canada has 26 days after the 30th, as Rim of Oregon (Oregon) Note Crater Lake (Crater Lake) National Park gave a shock to our family favorite sparkling spirit was a little tired around the end of the camping trip Village. (See here, the introduction of a park map to view the location with Google Maps, click the travels of the previous)

Walking up from the cafe here is the elevation of the lake, holding a cup of coffee pulled 2,165m.

As the universe is the Baekdu caldera Sport is made of a volcanic explosion crater lake (Crater Lake) has a diameter of approximately 10km. Because he can not hold the entire state as a wide-angle lens EFS 10-22mm anyway, felt rather grateful trees left standing to prevent the lake.

Shown in the figure, but now seeing the wisdom of the guide plate, which was estimated to 3,700m the height of the top front where we are standing now, as soon as Mount Mazama is an old, tall as a volcanic eruption about 7,700 years ago or more peaks 1,000m The go off into the deep earth, fly in the air the whole. Water and here ever since lake now made, and the United States to -593m and depth of the deepest depths of the lake, deep lake called the ninth in the world.

View of Crater Lake Lodge that overlooks the lake from the room in the Rim Village East ...'ll awful expensive?

Adam and built nicely in front of the Rim Village Visitor Center building -

The blonde is touching and a little of the wisdom of the clear plastic covering placed over the model is put to the bottom of the lake creates bluish.

Shino is to go down a little walk from the observatory at Rim Village where you should not miss at Crater Lake National Park (Sinnott Memorial Overlook). Captivated the blue lake gets closer walk along the cliff looking down at ...

I will be on the lookout for the arrival of the arch was built in the cliff with roof slopes so unwittingly. At first I thought I just said to avoid the rain made the roof, discovers the real reason I've made the roof later.

With multiple pictures to create a panorama shot but let's stand here and thought for a moment, a pointed witch's hat that call it Wizard Island, the island is visible on the left side of brute useless ... ^ is again spewing lava explosion is funny should be, that bulge in the lake.

According to ilseol've stayed here after a man was charged for Crater Lake National Park managers, why not lakes are naturally so, and he argues that people deceive burn something in the water paint or chemicals.

When you go to see the exhibition looked back inside the building, I realized why the roof made it frustrating to put that! Was created to give more able to focus on the landscape of lake maps that obscure the sky blue low roof. Having that feeling of watching the IMAX movie unreal landscape? Could not help but admire their insight really constructing this observatory is called 1931.

Be designated as a National Park in 1902, the 100th anniversary of the release of $ 400,000 in 2003 is spent inside the exhibition of the observatory and to all newly created, it is now looking to show the process of being created by explosive volcanic lake image . Through the mountain side and started out the boiling lava in the basement.

Comparing the size of the eruption of the wall painting, if you do as soon as you create a scale St Helens (St. Helens) 57 took the life of a volcanic crater lake in the United States exploded in 1980, one teaspoon of primacy is The scale of about 200 times that in the middle of a 3-pack of milk (Mazama) volcano. Of course, it was another 40 times the size of the town as soon as Yellowstone's Super Volcano Volcano (super volcano) which is under the biggest bucket.

In addition to this set of 100 years in an effort to explain to preserve the look of the place look beautiful seasons in, for.

The view of the lake back to the parking lot the last. Crater Lake is believed to be that it will be sunny in the sky so blue and the only rain and snow, and completely isolated by the lake surrounded by cliffs all the borders of the water supply is also a water only by evaporation literally disappear completely 'dead water', did not have the support. The idea must go down to the waterfront next time, drove a park exit. (Try to walk down to the water's Travels Quicksilver see the look of people diving off a cliff into a lake breeze)

The Steel Information Center and Park Headquarters at the intersection of the south exit of the building.

The celebrated William Still (William G. Steel) Black and white photo of the fireplace with a hero called the "Father of Crater Lake National Park, there is no relationship between D 'Steel Information Center" is steel and is at all. There is a room full of people waiting for a guide to show the film here, this area was mainly talking about the legendary Klamath than the spectacle of a volcanic eruption in Indian movies. Their ancestors lived on earth about 10,000 years ago from the honey, would have seen the explosion of a massive volcano directly, there still remains a legend for the oral sightings. Now leaving the Oregon State ... no I did not visit the city and tourist attractions such as Portland, Oregon's other inland coastal road did not run it, if you can fit in a visit last Oregon here I am again with no regrets He also seems to find the idea.

Emotional meeting with 'Great Deep Blue', Crater Lake National Park

26 days of the trip yesterday morning was bright ~ 250km east of the Oregon beach by running for four hours arrived at the Diamond Lake Campground is here. 30-day camping trip to one of the most deserted tent where a scary place to hit the toilet, or indeed where mosquitoes are incredibly many ... ^ ^

Take that burden Diamond Lake (Diamond Lake) looked down for a moment. Float a boat on the lake in the early morning people look back to the snowy mountains. Umpqua National Forest area here too as many as 239 camping sites and there is a large resort so popular resorts in the state of Oregon, but this is not our destination today. Go down south, where the final highlight of the trip 30 days Crater Lake National Park is waiting.

Conclusions from, say, a space deliberately Please visit my profusely worth it! (In the map, just above the national park boundary, where 138 and 230 meet once before the picture is a small lake camping Diamond Lake)

Antique-written lettering on the roadside plaque hanging National Park and the far north entrance of Crater Lake National Park is 1,783 m above sea level, this is the look.

Park Entrance North Junction even out in the lake and 15km, which was in the middle of a dense forest so suddenly disappeared like a lie where there bud. Later, I saw a map where you going through the Pumice Desert assessed. Turns out that the word desert, California is nearing Putting ~

Look at a map of the park, we came down to North Junction turn left Lake Rim Village Watchman Overlook and looking around the Steel Information Center and went to the park through the south exit. Now - now the intersection of North Junction to pull Merriam Point and walked ...

GREAT DEEP BLUE ... (Hangul as 'huge deep blue' can also translate it, but for some reason does not properly delivered to the English seem to feel ...) At this point, my SLR camera with EFS 10-22mm lens which is the maximum Wide Angle could not even fit on hold. 2,142 m where I now stand, and that the lake surface is 1,882 m above sea level 260m vertically or 'down' to be. I created the crater lake, we are near the high volcano (volcano) and looking for the ran from morning all the earth is flat was a huge volcano, the crater was hidden under the middle will do so! (Crater Lake caldera lake of similar nature as compared to South Korea's Baekdu stick, up to about 2.7 times the diameter of 9.7km is about six times the area)

Eating one impressed once again by going Watchman Overlook along the ring road, next to the road in early July, even though the thick snow still remained.

Watch Man Overlook (Watchman Overlook) look at on arrival, to the left of the lake at 2,453 m in the steep cliffs are visible at the top of Llao Rock, and at the time of the eruption of lava in the future as it is made pillars are lined with red color 'The Devil's Backbone (Devils Backbone)' is shown. (This photo was taken with SLR-colored snaps photos of the lake bottom color is incorrect, colored snaps are slightly exaggerated because SLR is a bit fuzzy around the middle is actually ... ^ ^)

The front has a resemblance to a witch's pointed hat named Wizard (Wizard) showed island, the island would explode into an unusual volcanic crater lake was created again in the bulge, he said.
