Saturday, July 11- Crater Lake by boat

This morning we left our house, The Tecumseh Rock House, and made our way back into Crater Lake National Park for our 1:15 boat tour. The tour that leaves from the boat dock at lake level requires a 1.1 mile hike down a 700 foot elevation. Despite the hike down and back it was more than worth all the heavy breathing to get back up to the top. Another challenge checked off our list.

Heading down to the dock.
