Crater Lake Bonsai Blue

Mountain Hemlocks and their krummholz brethren stand as sentinels high above the deep blue waters of Crater Lake, in southern Oregon. The lake sits in a 2,148-foot (655 m)-deep caldera that was formed around 7,700 years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama. At 1,943 feet (592 m), the lake is the deepest in the United States, and one of the deepest and clearest in the world.
