For my wife's birthday we wanted to do something "special". So what could be better than a visit to Crater Lake?
We had booked a 3 day weekend in Bend, Oregon. Drove down to Crater Lake on Friday and spent Saturday hiking in the Three Sister Wilderness (which is close to Bend).
Weather was great, sunny but not too hot.. we had a fantastic time, one of the best weekends of the year
Gear-wise it was the same setup that I used in the North Cascades in July (Olympus EM-1 & 14-54mm & 75-300mm and a hiking pole with small ballhead as monopod.)
I only added a good nylon belt to my gear, with water-bottles and lens-switch-case attached.
Friday, lunchtime:

someone else was having a snack too
