On June 25, we began a west coast family reunion with my brother's family, my sister, and Mom and Dad. They all rented an RV and joined us for Crater Lake and the Oregon coast. They will also host us for 3 days in Hood River, where my bother (Keith), his wife (Laura), and son (Lukas) live. We picked our first stop as Crater Lake because it's one Oregon's gems.
Cloudy and Rainy. That pretty much sums up our 2 days at Crater Lake. If you are ever fortunate enough to visit Crater Lake, shoot for July to September. The color of the lake is brilliant deep blue, but you need a sunny day to fully see the beauty. Thankfully, I saw it in 2007, but didn't see the color in 2014. The clouds barely lifted for us to catch a few pictures, but for the most part our views were blocked by a cloud that sat above the lake for 2 days. The ranger said that Saturday looked like the best day, but we left on Friday.....We made the best of the weather by talking by the fire, hanging out, and hiking down to the water. In my opinion, the lake looks better from above. Unless you love hiking, you can get most of the experience from above.
