18. Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

Exploregonians

Wizard Island! Old Man of the Lake! Phantom Ship! Jordan thinks Crater Lake National Park is the GOAT of naming things. 
Katie accuses Jordan of not liking lakes and suggests he is backwoods, being raised on rivers and fed crawdads, just like all the nonnative fish that have been stocked in Crater Lake from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 
Mount Mazama blew 7,700 years ago and its caldera was filled over time to make Crater Lake the deepest in the United States, yet only the ninth in the world. What gives? Jordan also says, "What gives?" about Oregon being home to only one national park and Katie thinks it's just enough.
