Crater Lake Hikes

        I went camping at Crater Lake National Park in September. It was insanely pretty. The water is oh so blue (and cold), and the nature is outstanding. I was able to fit in another couple of hikes, bringing me up to 17 hikes over all. While there, we did the Pinnacles loop (a whopping .6 mile trek), Cleetwood Cove (only 2.2 mi round trip, but 700 ft elevation change in the first 1.1 mi), and the Annie Creek trail (3 mi). These were short little hikes, but very pretty, and I'm going to go ahead and count them as two hikes when all together (when you are trying to reach 24 hikes in a year you have to accept some of the shorter hikes too). 


Ground squirrels were everywhere, and pretty friendly.

Phantom ship island.

Wizard island (actually a volcano).
