Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

We pack up and make the short drive to Crater Lake RV Park in Fort Klamath, Oregon. We have a nice campsite beside the Fort Creek. Our cat finds a nice comfortable seat beside the back window:

We have a quick lunch and then head out to Crater Lake National Park. This park averages over 35 feet of snow in the winter, so most of the park is still closed due to snow. Most of the roads and all of the trails are still closed, but we're not going to be near this area in July when the roads finally open.

We drive to the visitors center and are surprised to see how much snow is still there. The ranger explains that the roads had an average of 35 feet of snow on them this winter and the cold spring has also delayed melting.

We then drive up to look at the lake. The road around the rim is closed, but we're able to drive up to Crater Lake Lodge area to at least look at the lake.

There is still a lot of snow in this area. All of the roads won't be open til sometime in July.

Joe is thrilled with all of the snow (he keeps throwing snowballs at his dad) and he brought his sled along to go sledding.

We drive back to the campground and Jere & Joe go canoeing while I take pics and make dinner.

After dinner Joe and I play ping pong and air hockey and we all watch an old Indiana Jones movie, Temple of Doom.
