Our Crater Lake Trip

Our first stop on the Lower road trip was this camp site on the way to Crater Lake.  We drove to Bend and camped in the Cascade Lakes area.  It was beautiful.

Here is our view approaching Crater Lake.

Wow - the beauty was breathtaking!  


We had a nice hike around the lake.  However, the misquotes were eating us alive!

We stayed two nights in the lodge.  It was a beautiful old lodge.



This was our evening cocktail spot.  Unfortunately, the misquotes loved it as well.


On our way back from Crater Lake we stopped at the cabin for the 4th of July weekend.  It was so peaceful (not a single firework!).

Smores at night.  YUM!

This is Kiley's little friend she found.  Isn't he cute.

We went on a hike near the cabin to "Little Crater Lake".  We thought this hike was fitting for this trip.  It was really pretty.  However, the misquotes were worse than at big Crater Lake.
