On day 6, we had what thru hikers call a "nero day." We only hiked a few miles while spending the rest of the day enjoying Crater Lake.

On our "nero day" we had a huge lunch at the lodge. We checked out the visitor's center and learned all about Crater Lake. We learned so much we could probably be Junior Rangers! Mailed a postcard home with the Crater Lake stamp and bought my Crater Lake Christmas ornament. I could stare at Crater Lake all day and still be in awe. It's majestic! Sapphire Blue!
