I felt great to be in Oregon. Oregon on the PCT is known for flat terrain, mosquitos, and green forests.

Fozzie and I had 130 miles to our next stop at Diamond Lake Lodge. A little resort in Oregon (motel and market by a lake). The kind of place that doesn’t even have Wi-Fi!

The highlight of the stretch was crater lake. I spent a morning walking around crater lake and taking in the views. I even brought an avocado to enjoy during a long break overlooking the lake.

The trail goes up to crater lake, then slowly wraps around. It was a really neat stretch of trail. Filled with signs to read about the history and geology of the lake. It’s a place I’d love to come back and visit!

After Crater Lake we were only one day away from Diamond Lake Lodge. The rumors about Oregon were partly true so far. Very flat with lots of green forests and lakes. But no mosquitos yet! But I never say that out loud, because I don’t want to jinx it 🙂
