Greetings from Crater Lake National Park

We just completed a trip touring many beautiful National Forests in Oregon as well as Crater Lake National Park (July 2019). My 15 year old son was thrilled to be able to cliff jump into America’s deepest lake. He even convinced his mother to jump as well! On a crystal clear day, the reflections off the water were amazing.

Sincerely,
Susan
