Crater Lake, Oregon: One of my Favorite Places

Crater Lake is such a cool place! It’s an ancient volcano that erupted about 8000 years ago, and then collapsed upon itself forming a caldera over 2000 feet deep. This is the deepest lake in the United States, filled only by rain water, snowfall, and snow-melt, because there are no rivers flowing in or out. Crater Lake is the centerpiece of Crater Lake National Park, which is located in South-central Oregon, and very remote. Since there are no cities nearby, you can easily see the Milky Way galaxy on a clear night. It’s like looking at a river of stars in the sky. My trip there was such an amazing experience, and one that I will never-ever forget. This is why Crater Lake in one of my favorite places.
