Crater Lake (June 13-14)

After breakfast with the Hoppers we headed south to Crater Lake, after hours of driving we got to the lake just as the sun was setting.  So beautiful!  We then proceeded back down to our cabin that we rented.  The cabin was covered in snow and in the woods.  I think if we were to go again for just a night like this we would have stayed at the lodge with a view of the lake, but it was cheaper to stay down at the cabins so that is what I had booked.  After getting settled in we ate the Subway we picked up on the way there and headed to bed early so we could get up and snowshoe the next morning. 

For breakfast I had some danish that I had bought in Vancouver and then we headed back up to the lake.  It was an insanely clear day and the snow was almost blinding.  So absolutely beautiful.  The lake is so majestic.  Part of me wishes we could have gone later in the year when you can go down and boat on the lake but the other part is very happy we saw it covered in snow, it was absolutely gorgeous!

Following our snowshoe adventure we went and checked out the store and mini museum with info on the lake.  I picked up a Christmas ornament and a t-shirt and we headed out.  We had some beautiful views of Mt. Shasta and then settled down for the night in Redding.  

Crater Lake was beautiful and we certainly are planning on going back someday!
