This led to much consternation. We searched for a while, with no luck. Finally, after studying the map and looking at landmarks, I concluded that I had been right after all. That realization had a nasty effect on morale, I'm afraid. So, we continued on past several more falls, and finally found the correct trail.
Crater Lake is amazingly beautiful.
It sits in a bowl, surrounded by steep slopes up to peaks several thousand feet above. There are snow fields on the slopes, so there are a whole bunch of small falls running down toward the lake. The falls are far away, so it's hard to see details, but they are awe inspiring. There is a constant roar from across the lake from the many falls. It is impossible for a camera to capture the spectacle.
