I have been told so many times that I must visit Crater Lake that it was finally time to turn east and see what the fuss was all about. Not surprisingly it looks just like the brochures, in a word, captivating.
Sadly the west is plagued at the moment with forest fires and air is not as nice as it might be, however the haze made for some interesting sunrise photos.
As always, travel wisely and be safe.

Marvelous photos. Sometimes haze can be your friend.
