Rogue River Headwaters Crater Lake National Park
A 6 mile round trip hike to the headwaters of the world famous Rogue River in Oregon. The river literally begins from a hole in the ground... a lava tube. Very, very cool! The river begins at Boundary Springs.

Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake National Park is a United States National Park located in southern Oregon. Established in 1902, Crater Lake National Park is the fifth oldest national park in the United States and the only one in the state of Oregon. The park encompasses the caldera of Crater Lake, a remnant of a destroyed volcano, Mount Mazama, and the surrounding hills and forests.
The lake is 1,943 feet (592 m) deep at its deepest point, which makes it the deepest lake in the United States, the second deepest in North America and the ninth deepest in the world. Crater Lake is often referred to as the seventh deepest lake in the world, but this former listing excludes the approximately 3,000-foot (910 m) depth of subglacial Lake Vostok in Antarctica, which resides under nearly 13,000 feet (4,000 m) of ice, and the recent report of a 2,740-foot (840 m) maximum depth for Lake O'Higgins/San Martin, located on the border of Chile and Argentina. However, when comparing its average depth of 1,148 feet (350 m) to the average depth of other deep lakes, Crater Lake becomes the deepest in the Western Hemisphere and the third deepest in the world. The impressive average depth of this volcanic lake is due to the nearly symmetrical 4,000-foot (1,200 m) deep caldera formed 7,700 years ago during the violent climactic eruptions and subsequent collapse of Mount Mazama and the relatively moist climate that is typical of the crest of the Cascade Range.

Crater Lake, Sun Notch Viewpoint #1 - August 26, 2017 - Travels With Phil - Unedited
Subscribe to my YouTube Channel ----- - - - - - Crater Lake, Sun Notch Viewpoint #1 - Crater Lake was once Mount Mazama at 12,000 feet high. 7,700 years ago there was a massive eruption. The magma chamber collapse and left a very deep caldera. Snow and rain filled the hole to a depth of over 1,900 feet deep. This makes Crater Lake the deepest lake in the United States. This video shows the lake and the Phantom Ship formation from the southern part of Rim Drive. - August 26, 2017 - Travels with Phil by Phil Konstantin - See my photos of the area here:

Hawk Mountain Sanctuary | Pennsylvania | Hiking | Skyline Trail | V-Hike
Hello and welcome to our vlog V-Hike, today we are at Hawk mountain in Kempton, Pennsylvania, which is a 2,600-acre wild bird sanctuary since 1934 highlighting trails & overlooks. Alright, first thing first, There is a fees of $10 to get into the Hawk Mountain, it has 5 trails, you can choose whichever you like. With that said, Today, we are doing a circular kind of trail, our trail begins at lookout trail up-to North lookout point (0:33), then merge on to Skyline trail (0:44) after that to a connector trail called Golden Eagle trail (3:37) and finally onto River of Rocks trail (3:58). Those who are interested can go for an Appalachian trail too because Skyline trail continues to Appalachian trail from post 2. Altogether it was approx. 6 miles of hike and took us around 4 hours to complete the loop. The elevation is from 1300 to 1521 ft. Lookout trail is an easy trail with little bit of climbing and rock terrain, then Skyline is the most difficult and in our case it was absolutely difficult because we hiked after a snow day (1:02 - 3:36), the terrain is mostly rocky and requires a lot of climbing and definitely need to have empty hands, good physical strength and some experience. The golden Eagle trail is an easy trail of smooth terrain with little bit steepness and finally river of rocks is a moderate trail with rocks, and climbing up the hill back to the south lookout point (4:47- 5:06).

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Crater Lake National Park is an American national park located in southern Oregon. Established in 1902, Crater Lake is the fifth-oldest national park in the United States and the only national park in Oregon. The park encompasses the caldera of Crater Lake, a remnant of a destroyed volcano, Mount Mazama, and the surrounding hills and forests.
The lake is 1,949 feet (594 m) deep at its deepest point, which makes it the deepest lake in the United States, the second-deepest in North America and the ninth-deepest in the world. Crater Lake is often referred to as the seventh-deepest lake in the world, but this former listing excludes the approximately 3,000-foot (910 m) depth of subglacial Lake Vostok in Antarctica, which resides under nearly 13,000 feet (4,000 m) of ice, and the recent report of a 2,740-foot (840 m) maximum depth for Lake O'Higgins/San Martin, located on the border of Chile and Argentina. However, when comparing its average depth of 1,148 feet (350 m) to the average depth of other deep lakes, Crater Lake becomes the deepest in the Western Hemisphere and the third-deepest in the world. The impressive average depth of this volcanic lake is due to the nearly symmetrical 4,000-foot-deep (1,200 m) caldera formed 7,700 years ago during the violent climactic eruptions and subsequent collapse of Mount Mazama and the relatively moist climate that is typical of the crest of the Cascade Range.
The caldera rim ranges in elevation from 7,000 to 8,000 feet (2,100 to 2,400 m). The United States Geological Survey benchmarked elevation of the lake surface is 6,178 feet (1,883 m). The national park encompasses 183,224 acres (286.3 sq mi; 741.5 km2). Crater Lake has no streams flowing into or out of it. All water that enters the lake is eventually lost from evaporation or subsurface seepage. The lake's water commonly has a striking blue hue, and the lake is refilled entirely from direct precipitation in the form of snow and rain.

10. Kelimutu Crater Lakes – Indonesia
The town of Moni in central Flores island of Indonesia has a volcano named Kelimutu, which contains three stunning summit crater lakes which are counted among the most striking crater lakes in the world. The three lakes have different colours. The Tiwu Ata Mbupu is usually blue in colour. The water of the Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai is typically green. The Tiwu Ata Polo’s water is usually red.
9. Quilotoa Crater Lake – Ecuador
The Quilotoa Crater Lake is in Ecuadorian Andes, and was formed when a caldera got filled with water. The caldera has a width of 3 km. and was formed when the most western volcano of the mountain range in Ecuador collapsed, after a catastrophic eruption about 800 years ago. Since then, it has gathered water to form a lake of 250 m depth. The water is greenish because of the minerals.
8. Heaven Lake – North Korea
The Heaven Lake is one of the most stunning crater lakes in the world, located on the border between North Korea and China, lying partially in each country, within a caldera on top of the volcanic Baekdu Mountain. The caldera was formed in approximately 969 AD, as a result of a major eruption. It has a surface elevation of 2189.1 m. It remains covered in ice during the winter months.
7. Lake Taupo – New Zealand
Lake Taupo is situated in the North Island of New Zealand. It has a surface area of 616 sq km, which makes it the largest lake in New Zealand in terms of surface area. Its deepest point is 186 m. It is drained by the Waikato River, the longest river in New Zealand. The lake lies in a caldera which was formed by a supervolcanic eruption, 26500 years ago. It is known for brown and rainbow trout.
6. Okama Crater Lake – Japan
Okama is a crater lake located in Goshiki-dake, a tuff-cone in the central volcano in the group of stratovolcanoes of Mount Zao in Honshu, Japan. One of the most beautiful crater lakes in the world, is known as the Five Colour Pond, since the water assumes various tinges depending on the weather. Formed in the 1720s by a volcanic eruption, the lake has a diameter of 360 and a depth of 60 m.
5. Mount Katmai Crater Lake – Alaska, USA
Mount Katmai, located within the Katmai National Park and Preserve on the Alaska Peninsula, in Alaska, USA, is a stratovolcano has a central lake-filled caldera which is about 4.5 by 3 km in area. It was formed during the Novarupta eruption in 1912. There are small glaciers that have formed on a bench in the caldera, beside the lake whose surface elevation reaches a maximum height of 1286 m.
4. Deriba Crater Lake – Sudan
The Deriba Crater, with an elevation of 3042 m, is the highest point of Jebel Marra, located in Darfur in the west of Sudan. The lake is formed in a caldera. The outside crater has a diameter varying from 5km to 8 km. The Deriba Caldera was formed as a result of an explosive eruption of the Jebel Marra Volcano, which took place approximately 3500 years ago. The volcano now lies in a dormant state.
3. Lonar Crater Lake – India
The Lonar Crater Lake is a saline soda lake, located at Lonar in Maharashtra, India. It was created by a meteor impact during the Pleistoscene Epoch, and is aged at about 52,000 years, give or take 6000 years. Newer reports show that it could be 570000 years old, give or take 47000 tears, thus making it the oldest crater lake, and one of the largest, with a circumference of 2 km and a depth of 100 m.
2. Kerið Crater Lake – Iceland
The Kerið Crater Lake is located in the Grímsnes area in south Iceland, on the Golden Route. This volcanic crater lake is one of the many lakes in the Western Volcanic Zone of Iceland. But, its caldera, made of mainly red volcanic rock, is still intact and recognizable. It is about 55m deep, 170 m wide and 270 m across. Due to the minerals from the soil, its water is opaque and vividly aquamarine.
1. Crater Lakes in Albertine Rift – Africa
The Albertine Rift in Africa is edged with a number of the highest mountains, including the Ruwenzori range, Mitumba Mountains and Virunga Mountains. Among with lie the Rift Valley lakes, among the deepest crater lakes in the world. Lake Tanganyika, for instance, is 1470 m deep. Formed as a result of a great rift and volcanic explosions, these lakes attract tourists from all over the globe.
There are several other wonderful crater lakes in the world. These were formed at different times in the history of time, and are among the most visual linchpins, adding to the vistas and dotting the surface of the earth with scenic landmarks, and attracting tourists from all over the globe.

Hiking Central Oregon - Mt Thielsen Climb
This video describes the route from the Mt. Thielsen trail head, on Hwy. 138 near Diamond Lake, to the Chicken Ledge at the base of the Mt. Thielsen summit pinnacle. The hike is 5 miles each way and gains 3700' in elevation. Some scrambling up loose slopes is necessary to get to the top. The route is in the Mt. Thielsen Wilderness and crosses the Pacific Crest Trail at the 4 mile mark then follows a climbers trail along a ridge for the remainder of the climb. The summit pinnacle is about 80' of class 4 climbing that can be done without protection. I would have liked to make it to the peak, but, with no one else around to climb with, decided against it. The ridge that the route follows is very scenic and offers great views on a clear day. We took about 7 hours to complete this hike although some may be faster or slower. We generally are not in a hurry when we hike and get sidetracked often.
