Klamath Falls & Crater Lake







Talk at Info center in Klamath Falls OR and decide to go to Crater Lake. Gorgeous Blues like you will see no where else. This is the deepest lake in the United States and you have to drive up 1000 ft just to see it. The reason it is so blue is that all the other colors are absorbed at certain depths- leaving only the blue. A blue that can only be appreciated when viewing directly.

The crate was formed originally as volcano 10,000 plus years ago. It blew off its head, then filled with water. No water leaves this crater except by evaporation and only fills by rain/snow. Stays about the same depth year after year. A new cap started to form later and is now called "Wizard Island" Boat tours take you there IF you can climb down the 1.1 mile steep face to the dock!

Local ground squirrels are quite friendly and will come up to your hands or feet.

A complete driving circle around the crater takes about 2 1/2 hours to all day.


After the crater, we drive 3 hours to the Mount Shasta area to Weed, CA. As we see the mountain it captures us. When I get into town of Weed and look at the Mountain I feel overwhelmed with energy. Its awesome! Heart centered and great. Check into our hotel and feel the energy all night. Room 114 pet friendly-last room avail. But the most spacious room we have been in- 2 queens, full desk and 4 arm chairs in a good sized living area.
