Just After the Turn South Into the Park: A Beautiful Snow Covered Volcanic Mountain and More Flowers! This Time There Is One Blue Flower and the Rest Are Pink Or Turning Brown
“We arrive at the turnoff to Crater Lake …. “(Cont.Next)
Intersection of Rt138 and North Entrance Road, Crater Lake National Park, OR. Below the Mountain, you can see a segment of the Highway pointing at the snow. Judging from the highway direction shown on my RandMcNally, this must be the Mountain of Crater Lake, but I am uncertain. Here, we should recall the Narrator’s “shorter route” decision back in Prineville Junction OR. Possibly related to this, he seems to attempt to cheer up Chris by going to more touristy places like Crater Lake, or later, the “Drive Thru Giant Redwood Tree” in California. However, even at these places, the Narrator, respectively 1) has negative emotions about the “touristy park attitude” or 2) completely fails to mention the tourist aspects of popular tourist attractions that they evidently visited. Such is the case at the ‘duck pond” at the Drive Thru Giant Redwood Tree in Leggett CA and also at Simpson Reed Grove, a Giant Redwood Forest. See my further discussions with upcoming photos The Pink flowers above, are a color I failed to find at Beartooth Pass. The next photo was taken from the crest of the highway segment seen in the above photo.
