火山口湖是位於美國俄勒岡州的一個火山湖。屬火山口湖國家公園管區范圍內。火山口湖以其深藍色的湖水和很高的透明度而聞名。於1853年6月12日,第一次有人報告發現了火山口湖,當時它被命名為「深藍湖」(Deep Blue Lake)。火山口湖至少改過三次名,如藍湖(Blue Lake)、Majesty湖,最後才確定使用現在的名稱火山口湖。火山口湖是美國最深的湖泊,在世界湖泊深度中排名第9位。
There's only one safe and legal way to get to the icy lake: Cleetwood Cove Trail, a 1.1-mile (one-way) trail that usually opens in June and drops nearly 700 feet to the lake shore.
At 1,943 feet, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the U.S., and one of its most stunning. There are no streams or rivers feeding it—the lake is the product of pure glacial runoff and precipitation.
Rim trail has stellar views and photo ops with far less crowds than pull offs. Get out and hike for a bit, you won't regret it. Also the PCT section in the park is breathtaking.
Pack a lunch; not only will you save A LOT of money over the lodge, but you will be guaranteed to have exactly what you want. Cram it in a backpack, take a hike and have a picnic with GORGEOUS views.
