Crater Lake National Park

A sweeping view of Crater Lake unfolds beneath a clear summer sky, where deep sapphire water fills the ancient volcanic caldera. Steep, ash-colored cliffs ring the lake, their rugged faces contrasting sharply with the intense blue below. In the center, Wizard Island rises like a quiet sentinel, forested and perfectly framed by the surrounding rim. Evergreen trees cascade down the foreground slope, adding rich greens to the scene, while soft white clouds drift overhead, emphasizing the lake’s stillness and immense depth. The image captures the serene power and pristine beauty that make Crater Lake feel both timeless and otherworldly.
