A wider view than last, capturing the gorgeous blue water, shallow along the shore of Wizard Island.
And while that water looks tropical, I seriously doubt that it is, considering the lake is fed only by snowmelt every spring.
But you can swim in that hole, like these folks did.
Or you can swim across the entire lake. Twice. Like these folks did.
If last night’s view of the Northern California coast doesn’t work for us, this is always 90 minutes away.
Goddess repeated several times “How is this even real?”. She was awestruck by not only the scenery, but the natural colors, especially in the rocks.
And the water. Oft cited as the most pure water in North America, the deep blues here are impressive. But the turquoise blues in the shallows around Wizard Island (foreground) are astounding. Perhaps a pic will follow…
