Stopping At Crater Lake National Park

One place on my itinerary during my eclipse trip is Crater Lake National Park in Oregon. I have been there twice. The first time was a day trip in 1968 and the second was a camping trip in 1971.

Thankfully, I have camping reservations and will spend a couple of nights there.

According to the National Park Service's Crater Lake website:

Crater Lake inspires awe. Native Americans witnessed its formation 7,700 years ago, when a violent eruption triggered the collapse of a tall peak. Scientists marvel at its purity: fed by rain and snow, it’s the deepest lake in the USA and perhaps the most pristine on earth. Artists, photographers, and sightseers gaze in wonder at its blue water and stunning setting atop the Cascade Mountain Range.

From Crater Lake, I will be heading down into California to stop at Lassen Volcanic National Park and the northern areas of the Mother Lode (a.k.a. Clamper Country).
