Gorgeous Blue |
The deepest lake in North America was formed by a collapsed volcanic cone. Its clear blue water is some of the clearest in the world. The spectacular blues of water and sky are well worth a visit. This is Crater Lake National Park, one of the prettiest stops on our National Park to Park Highway tour.

Hi! I'm Mountain Mom. I live with my husband and three young kids near the mountains in Idaho. When we're not hiking, biking, skiing and camping, I like to spend my time doing Mom stuff and reading.
