While I was at Crater Lake I decided to take a nice hike. There were a lot of choices anywhere from short easy hikes to long and/or steep strenuous hikes. I decided to stay in the middle and chose a moderate hike. It was almost 2 miles but it did have some elevation gain. This hike was called Annie Creek. What a trip. It started out at the amphitheater.
You can look way done and barely see the creek.
Getting closer to the creek but still a ways to go.
Finally arrived at the bottom. From here you follow the creek for about a mile. It is really beautiful and peaceful here.
This is a small bridge that crosses the creek. There were several of these along the trail.
I will let the pictures speak for themselves. It is impossible to put into words the beauty I saw.
Occasionally I would see small waterfalls like this one.
There were also a million wild flowers of many different colors.
The hike took me back to the amphitheater, which was just a short walk back to my campsite.
Very beautiful and always love to see the wildflowers
