USA Crater Lake
Breathtaking views of a lake created by a collapse of a volcano.
Photography Tips
Summers can get very crowded here but you can drive all around the lake to find composition you like.
Winters offer more solitude and if you are comfortable with snow camping, you will likely have the viewpoints to yourselves. Many amazing vantage point exists. This photo was captured approximately 8 miles from trailhead in clockwise direction.
