Sunday 26.7. (Crater Lake)

In Crater Lake, it was luckily not that cold in the morning as we expected (it is on the northern side of Lassen and we are still more than 2 thousands meters above the sea level -- as always, when we camp), so that we slept pretty well. At half past nine we set off to the lake, made a stop at several views and a 8 km trip to the highest peak in the park, Mt. Scott -- nice view on the lake and the whole volcanic area (not that challenging trail as in Yosemite). The next trip was decided to be to the edges of the lake (all around is very steep); the water is not that cold as one would judge from the snow still laying around the frontiers of the lake, and to swim in 30 C is very pleasant. We climbed back up the hill, went around the lake and right now, we gril the sausages. In the evening, we want to go to the ranger program near the lake to see the sunset.
