When I moved from Phoenix to Portland, I drove through Crater Lake National Park on June 16. There were snow banks on either side of the road up to twenty feet high at times.

Wizard Island continues to grow in the lake as a result of volcanic activity.

Looking south from the rim of Crater Lake. Mount Shasta is obscured by clouds, but it is on the left.

Crater Lake National Park

The road around the lake follows the top of the rim. The cliffs are up to 2,000 feet high and the lake is the deepest in the U.S. - over 1,900 feet deep.

As you can tell, I was totally unprepared for the temperature to hover around 40 degrees in the middle of June. The road around the eastern side of the rim was still closed due to snow, and the western rim road that I drove around had just opened for the year.

Railroad Tracks

Seen here during the walk from downtown to the Seattle Center.

Viewed from the top of the Space Needle. Qwest Field and Safeco Field can be seen on the right, with Mount Rainier in the distance.

Downtown Seattle

Mount Rainier is about 50 miles from Seattle and, on a clear day, can be seen from Portland.

Seattle Buildings

The 11-story library in downtown Seattle opened a couple of years ago and features remarkable architecture.

Q: Are We Not Men?

On the I-5 from Seattle, approaching the Canadian border. You can see the grief and annoyance written on my face from having to wait in this line for an hour.

Crossing the Border

Entering Canada, we saw this Canadian flag composed of flowers.

Looking across the water to some of the high rises in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia

This is Burrard Bridge and downtown Vancouver, viewed from Granville Island. Stanley Park can be seen in the distance.

Granville Island

I thought to myself, just how goofy was the goofiest face ever made in Stanley Park? Could it be bested?

Swimming upstream at a fish hatchery in Oregon, near Eagle Creek

This is on the two and a half mile hike from the Columbia River up Eagle Creek to Punch Bowl Falls

Eagle Creek Trail

I am on top of a cliff overlooking the canyon created by Eagle Creek. Later, I swam up to the fallen tree in the center of the photo when we hiked down into the canyon.

Looking down into the punch bowl from the top of the cliff

Punch Bowl Falls

This guy jumped probably 70 to 80 feet down to the water

We had to swim the last 100 yards to get to the actual punch bowl. The falls were deceptively tall and the glacial creek was deceptively cold, about 40 feet and 50 degrees, respectively.

Punch Bowl Falls

For perspective, the enormous fallen tree is about 100 yards away from here and the falls are about 40 feet tall. The cliff jumper leapt off the high point of the cliff, above and to the left of the falls.

Punch Bowl Falls

After hiking back out from Eagle Creek, we went to Multnomah Falls, located about 30 minutes east of Portland

Multnomah Falls

This is more or less the bottom third of the 620 foot falls. The footbridge was built in 1914 and stands more than a hundred feet above the lower cascade.

The cloud directly above the mountain is a plume of steam venting from the still-active volcano.
