Evan and Annette hiked around the inside of the volcano while i ran ahead and took photos. One minute it was sunny and the next a bank of clouds would flow over the rim and down into the volcanic crater changing the temperature by 10-15 degrees and the color of the lake from jade green to gray.

To help you get perspective on the size of this crater... click on the photo to view the big version, then follow the lake's shoreline around till you see a small, whitish, four-wheeled speck... that is a Jeep Cherokee!
