Multnomah Falls and Crater Lake

Here are photos from where we visited Multnomah Falls (542 feet) and Crater Lake.  The trip to the falls was just a quick stop on our way to Crater Lake, Oregon.  Crater Lake receives over 500 inches of snow per year!  Of course, the snow was still on the mountains (but not the roads, thankfully!) when we arrived! Shawn had to drive us through a huge cloud foggy thing all the way up the mountain in pitch black darkness.  I'm not gonna lie, there probably were a few fights that ensued because of the speed of his driving in those conditions:)  We set up camp in about a foot of snow (it was patchy), and froze our tails off.  Praise the Lord we found a campsite with electricity.  We spent the night at crater lake and then explored in the morning

Crater Lake was first a volcano that erupted and then collapsed to form the large crater that was then filled over time with snowfall that melted.  The Lake has no rivers that flows into it and is completely stagnant

Shawn wanted to recreate a picture that he took in the same spot when he was 12. so lame!! haha
