Crater Lake, Day 2


This morning we drove back up the mountain to see a little of the other parts of the park. The only walk we went on was a 1 mile stroll called Godfrey Glen Trail (do you know how that hurts me to spell it that way?). The trail goes along the rim of a canyon of sorts. This first pic shows a little of the canyon in the background.



You can see the canyon a little better here....
I think yesterday's post showed the Phantom Ship from the lake top view. Here you can see it from the West Rim looking down on the lake.
This next is called "The Pumice Castle." We saw it from the lake yesterday. But like the previous, this was taken from the West Rim Road.
When we got back to Klamath Falls, Mom wanted to do a little shopping for shoes. Then we tried a brief walk along the river front. We went a little while and passed a couple men who gave the impression of being homeless. Plus, it didn't look like we were getting anywhere nearer any good looks at a group of birds or waterfowl. So we turned back and found this pair (as well as a few others) of American white pelicans.
I'm thinking that tomorrow we might drive up the west shore of the Upper Klamath Lake (yesterday and today we only drove down & up & down the east side). We'll look for some marshes and/or blinds where we can see more birds. I realize this is not the optimal time of year to see birds in large numbers. But you take what you can get. Right?

I LOVE the shot of the Phantom Ship! That looks like a painting or a postcard or something. Did you scan a postcard and put it on your blog?
