Back in August 2017, during my Great American Eclipse trip to Idaho, I headed into Oregon to visit Crater Lake National Park. I hadn't been there since 1971 when I camped there with my parents.
Except for smoke from wildfires in and around the park at the time, Crater Lake was as I remembered it.
Condé Nast Traveler has an article on the park on what one an see and do there.
They begin it with:
In the remote forests of southern Oregon, a dramatic caldera harbors the deepest lake in the United States.
Cliff-encircled Crater Lake is what remains of a volcano, once taller than Mount Hood, that erupted here nearly eight thousand years ago. The snowmelt- and rain-fed lake is called Giiwas in the Klamath language. For the Klamath Tribes, the original stewards of these lands who continue to live in the surrounding area, Giiwas is the legendary site of a dramatic conflict. It remains a place of great spiritual significance—something respectful visitors will appreciate when they first take in the sight.
