Finally, off to Crater Lake :D

Crater Lake was one of our choices when we were choosing where to work in the US. But we ultimately chose Yellowstone cos it was much bigger and had a wider variety of attractions and things to do. Never once regretted our choice, but we were glad to finally get a chance to see this beautiful lake too :)

Came across this gorgeous place when the bus driver stopped for a break

Our bus drove past this place and we saw all these elks

Lovely photo by Jon :)

And here we are at Crater Lake :D
