Part One: Crater Lake

Part one of our road trip was through Southern Oregon.  We were planning to camp at Diamond Lake, just north of Crater Lake National Park, but due to weather we nixed those 3 nights of camping and stayed at Diamond Lake Resort instead.  We were hoping to be able to view Crater Lake and then play at Diamond Lake the rest of the time.  But it rained almost the entire time!  Between rain storms (and snow flurries) we were able to get some great views of the deepest lake in the United States.



We were also able to walk/hike to some great water falls off HWY 138.  And it was on these early hikes, we discovered Levi isn't very happy walking through the woods yet.  Guess it's just too much work for those little legs.
Clearwater Falls
Whitehorse Falls
Watson Falls.  This 1.2 mile "hike" is where Levi really gave up!  At 272 feet, Watson Falls is the fourth highest water fall in Oregon.
Toketee Falls.  We had to carry Levi most of this almost 1 mile "hike" to view the falls.  And then it started pouring on us as soon as we got to the viewing platform.

Those are the most beautiful pictures! Rain is just part of the Great Northwest. Sounds like a good time was had by all (even those tired little legs). Thanks so much for sharing. Hugs, Joey
