Strawberry Moon at Crater Lake, 7 mi RT, 616' e.g., 1 nt
Details
For many of us who've been here before, it's hard to describe to someone who hasn't, just how blue the blue is. Am I right? Imagine what it'll be like during a full moon?
Of note: the actual date of the full moon is Monday, the 29th. Surely, there will be a waining moon, but I imagine more than enough moon glow to illuminate the rim.
The rim is accessible via the Raven Trail (2.5 miles, 616' e.g.).
Here's a map of the restricted camping areas.

I'll need a couple of drivers with "America the Beautiful" or similar passes to volunteer their 4WD, or AWD vehicles. We all pitch in $15 for gas. *I have an "America the Beautiful" Pass that will waive the park entry fee for at least four of us in one vehicle.
The end time is approximate.
