We can’t take bus trips right now but, thanks to the internet, we can explore the world from the comfort of our homes. Every Wednesday, we’re presenting a series of links to cultural institutions in Chicago and beyond. Today we’ll visit Oregon’s Crater Lake National Park.

With a depth of 1,943 feet, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States – and one of the most beautiful. The water’s intense blue color is an indication of its great depth and purity. Scientists consider Crater Lake to be the cleanest and clearest large body of water in the world.

Go on a 360 degree virtual video tour of Crater Lake Park, view scenic images of Crater Lake, look at live webcams of the park’s views, and finally download or stream the Crater Lake National Park documentary at Hoopla Digital.
