The Lake

Crater Lake, OR


We flew over at 11,500 in N727VT. Looking North here.

Crater Lake is located in Southern Oregon on the crest of the Cascade Mountain range, 100 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. It lies inside a caldera, or volcanic basin, created when the 12,000 foot (3,660 meter) high Mount Mazama collapsed 7,700 years ago following a large eruption.

What a view! Beautiful color of blue.
7,800 years ago, you would have been 500 feet below the peak.
