RHH's photos with the keyword: wizard island

This is Crater Lake in Oregon with Wizard Island on the right. Crater Lake is an old volcanic cone that has filled with water over the millennia and Wizard Island is a newer volcanic cone that has pushed up from the bottom of the crater. The photo was taken from the West Rim Drive. The East Rim Drive was not yet open at the time due to snow.

On a trip last summer down the Oregon coast to the California redwoods and back, we stopped at Crater Lake in central Oregon, arriving there at sunset one evening and leaving before noon the next day. Before leaving we drove nearly all the way around the crater. Crater Lake is a National Park that features an old volcanic crater now filled with water. The old volcanic cone, now gone, is known as Mount Mazama, and the crater, with its cinder island, Wizard Island, is six miles across and the lake nearly 2000 feet deep, a fantastic place. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/08/crater-lake...
