Crater Lake!

Behind of us, of course, is the magnificent Crater Lake. We got up early that morning and ran 3 steep miles to the rim. We were fortunate enough to make it by sunrise, a beautiful sight to sum up this year's hike.

There we were treated to breakfast by a very friendly and fascinating fellow hiker, and then we began our trek down south, getting rides from park rangers, our good friend, Vanessa, and IvaJo's wonderful parents.
