). It's serene,
sublime, transcendent - in other words, it might just blow your mind. A
6-mile-wide caldera created when Mt Mazama erupted nearly 8000 years ago,
this amazingly blue lake is filled with some of the purest water you can imagine.
It's also America's deepest lake at nearly 2000ft, and so clear you can easily
peer a hundred feet down. Camp, ski or hike in the surrounding old-growth
forests while enjoying unforgettable, jaw-dropping views.
