Sep 22: Crater Lake

Unlike our first day, it was sunny on our second day at Crater Lake. Thus, the lake looked different. However, the day was similarly cold. Nevertheless, we spent most of the day outdoors. This day we mainly explored the east side of the lake. We started by visiting Pinnacle Trail and its volcanic spires, then stopped at countless overlooks/viewpoints on the lake's rim, some named, some unnamed (though these still had pull-offs). After lunch, we headed to Watchman Peak for a short hike.

My many pictures document the day's travels fairly well.

Incidentally, one day we looked through the ranger information station / National Park Service gift shop and spotted a National Park version of monopoly. Interestingly, rather than show preference to particular parks, the game provides tiles for all national parks and makes you decide which tiles to use and which parks should be on the valuable squares (a la Boardwalk).
