Third day of the trip we started out by visiting the Crater Lake National Park in Oregon. This was to be the most tedious day in our trip as we were to drive the most number of miles this day and I was hoping to get the Crater Lake done as fast as possible. As usual we both over slept and were quite late by the time we reached here. Even under pretty stark lighting conditions Crater Lake blows you away with its deep clear blue waters, it is one of the cleanest bodies of water on the planet as it is only fed by precipitation. It is also the deepest lake in the USA at about 1943 ft and the 7th deepest in the world.

There are two islands in Crater Lake, Wizard Island from a cinder cone that erupted after Crater Lake began to fill with water, and Phantom Ship Island with seven different trees living on it. There are also colonies of violet green swallows, and several varieties of wildflowers and lichens living there.

I truly hope I get an opportunity to go here once again ad shoot at my own pace..
