Share My World: Hiking Crater Lake in the fog

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

This past weekend I went with my sister to Crater Lake. I really wanted to get some great pictures of this gorgeous blue lake in the snow.


That didn't happen.
There was too much fog.
This is the view of the lake.


Here is a picture of the lake from this summer and a link to a post of a tour of the lake.

While we couldn't see the lake that didn't stop us from having a great time hiking in the fog.


I even got to be in a little bit of snow. And the light was gorgeous!

And here are some fun pictures of my sister! It is nice to have someone willing to be a model!



Crater Lake is definitely a great destination in southern Oregon.

The first picture is also entered in this week's North American Friday by czechglobalhosts contest

Nice that you diddn't let the fog spoil your day and the post turn out to be great as well!

Thanks. Yes, being from Arizona with so much fun the fog was a real treat.

Great photos! I've always wanted to check out crater lake! Too bad about the fog. Stupid PNW always getting cloudy when you least want it to.

This post has been shared to the front page of EXHAUST -- a new front-end for Steem focused on Running, Cycling, and Hiking. More activities to come, and lots of exciting features to come! Just getting started! Unfortunately though, some of the formatting was lost -- we'll treat this as another bug and try to fix it so the next time we see a great post from you, the original formatting is maintained and your post still looks great!

Keep adventuring! Looking forward to more!

Thanks for your comment and putting it on EXHAUST. When I looked on there I could see the words, there wasn't a picture.

Yeah too bad we didn't see it yet we had a wonderful time. I am from Arizona and so some fog was really fun!

Yeah I'm pretty new to building websites (Exhaust is a bit of a hobby / side project) -- so I'm still sussing out the ways to make sure ALL images show up. Turns out there's about 5 different ways (so far) that images are tagged in Markup or HTML.

I bet there's some great hiking around Arizona too! I've been meaning to make my out to the desert -- Red Rocks in Nevada more specifically. What's cool or "iconic" in Arizona that I should keep on my radar?

Yes, there are some great hikes in Arizona. The most famous and notable is the Grand Canyon. Sedona is beautiful and so much red rock! I was to take a day trip up there soon.

The most famous and notable is the Grand Canyon.

Ooph.. There's a GREAT example of how brutal I am w/ geography. I should probably know where the Grand Canyon is. I'll pretend like I get a pass for being Canadian, but really, I shouldn't.

Ha ha, no problem. I know a little bit a Canadian geography but not much. You should follow @derekkind he is Canadian and a fantastic photographer and just drove across the country and is posting all his pictures.

Beautiful photos Sara! Looks like you had a great time. Foggy days are my favourite 😍

Hi Jessica. I sure don't get foggy days in Arizona so it was a real treat.

Amazing photos!! :) :)

You are very welcome!

Ooo, lucky! I've always wanted to visit Crater Lake!

Laura you will have to plan to get to Crater Lake when you come out west!
