Crater Lake National Park

The second-deepest lake in North America lies in the crater of a dormant volcano. It boasts some of the most pristine water in the world. It’s also stunningly beautiful. Highlights include the amazing rim drive (for incredible views of lake), swimming in the remarkable blue waters, and the boat trip to Wizard Island (must be booked through a vendor).
