Crater Lake

To some, that amount of time spent in a car is excruciating.

To me, it’s just another Saturday on the road.

I have never been to this location prior to this trip and I definitely had HIGH expectations.

Is the lake everything you’d expect?

Yeah, a bunch of internet hype.

It’s gorgeous, don’t get me wrong.

But I was expecting it to sing or some shit from how people talked about it.

Do you recommend visiting?

Absolutely!

(Just don’t make it your trip of the year.)

And a road shot...

Thatcher walking up a hill.

We arrived mid-day, but hung around until sunset.

Apparently, there is only 1 hike down to the water.

We didn'​t do it...

Have you?

When we go back we want to find it and experience what its like to be at the water.

This is called the Phantom Ship.

You can do several short hikes to view this little island from different angles.

Our trip was very last minute, we woke up and Thatcher picked our destination.

Little did we know, there are several fires happening.

Once we arrived we noticed smoke.

Eventually, we found it.

As the sun went down.

The haze rolled in.

Soon the sky was milky with color.

The light was incridible.

This is a half view of Crater Lake.

The other half is the first image in this post.

Sunset was stunning.

This is my entry for The Deranged Photography Contest.
