Crater Lake, My Favorite Place...so far

Crater Lake is a national park in Oregon that is actually an extinct volcano. Over thousands of years, rain water and snow melt filled the caldera creating one of the most pure lakes in North America. At almost 2000 ft deep it claims the prize of deepest lake in the continent.
