Crater Lake in the southern Cascades of Oregon

Almost 2,000 feet deep (594 meters), Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park in south-west Oregon is the deepest lake in the United States, the second deepest lake in the Western Hemisphere, and the seventh deepest in the world.
The lake's surface is six miles wide. There is no inlet or outlet to the lake: it is supplied with water from the great amounts of snow that fall every year. It took ~250 years for the lake to fill to today�s level The lake maintains its current level because the amount of rain and snowfall equals the evaporation and seepage rate. Lake level has varied only over a range of 5 m (16 ft) in the past 100 years.
The startling blue waters of Crater Lake owe their color to the great depth of the crater. And the lake's water is remarkably pure. The U.S. National Park Service describes Crater Lake as the cleanest large body of water in the world.

Paradise for Backpackers - Crater Lake in Crater National Park - Oregon

Mark Daniels, General Superintendent of the National Parks, remarked of Crater Lake:
'The sight of it fills one with more conflicting emotions than any other scene with which I am familiar. It is at once weird, fascinating, enchanting, repellent, of exquisite beauty and at times terrifying in its austere-dignity and oppressing stillness.'
My first glimpse of the blueness of Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park south-west Oregon took my breath away. The sapphire-blue lake is so clear that sunlight penetrates the water to a depth of 400 feet. It is both, the clearest and deepest lake in the United States � and the seventh deepest in the world.
The cobalt-blue water of Crater Lake reflects its pristine character. It is the type of place you have to visit at least once in your life time. Its purity, tranquility, and hauntingly translucent color has long attracted artists, photographers, and nature aficionados.
It only takes one visit for the stunning view to stay in your heart and mind forever.

Bristlecone Pine tree on the rim of Crater Lake - Oregon

One of the slow growing pine tree species is the Bristlecone pine. Under normal conditions Bristlecone Pines get 300-400 years old and have adjusted to places that no other tree wants to inhabit.
Here on Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park, southwest Oregon, intense sun, extremely arid conditions, high winds and winter exposure wear away at the bark of bristlecone pines, leaving striations along their exterior. However, a small amount of living bark is all that is necessary to sustain a mature bristlecone pine tree into extreme old age.
Bristlecone pine trees, in their lonely endurance and dignity, teach us the deep meaning of the eternal dance of life and death.

Three Arch Rocks - Oceanside near Cape Meares - Oregon

Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge was the first National Wildlife Refuge west of the Mississippi River. The refuge has provides protection for Oregon's largest seabird nesting colony of more 230,000 birds.
The refuge was established thanks to the efforts of conservationists William L. Finley and Herman Bohlman. In the early 1900�s they witnessed and photographed hunters killing dozens of sea lions at a time for skin and oil, and sportsmen shooting thousands of birds on the island just for the fun of it. Even worse, due to a scarcity of regional chicken farms at the time, seabird eggs were priced at up to a dollar per dozen, encouraging egg harvesting, which drastically reduced the bird colony population.
In 1903 the pair brought the photos and their findings to then President Theodore Rosevelt, and on October 14 1907 The Wildlife Refuge was created to protect dwindling seabird and marine mammal populations and ensure their survival.
