One of the great things about being a PCT hiker is that you can camp pretty much anywhere you want. When we came into Crater Lake NP I wanted nothing more than to camp on the rim so that we could see the sunset and the sunrise and that is exactly what we were able to do. This is the view of the sunrise and Lao Rock.
One interesting thing to note: we did not listen to the guidebook which said do not send your long johns and warm clothes ahead to Cascade Locks you will need them. In the spirit of ultralight hiking we got rid of everything we could and we paid the price for it here as the winds came in from the lake which still had some snow covered shores. This is what you call a life lesson.
