Hi again Instagram... just here to say that there’s a new post on the blog! A stop at this beauty en route to three days at Crater Lake!

Every year, I make myself a camping reservation at Crater Lake, and every year, something (usually wildfire) seems to get in the way of me actually going. But this weekend, I finally got to visit this wonder for the first time in about 25 (!) years. And it was just as awesome as I remember • #WeekenderAtCraterLake #craterlake #craterlakenationalpark #nps #findyourpark #oregon #oregonexplored #oregonnw #cascadiaexplored #pnw #pnwonderland #northwestisbest #pnwdiscovered #thatpnwlife #ourcamplife #beautifuldestinations
