Three Musketeers?

We took a trip from Mt. Shasta, California up to Crater Lake in Southern Oregon today.  During our trip we saw three volcanoes.  This post will be a series of pictures about those volcanoes.

The first is Mount McLoughlin.  It is a composite volcano.  It is 9,495 feet in elevation.

Crater Lake was formed by a volcano (the Indians called it Mount Mazama) that exploded and collapsed in on itself about 7500 years ago.  Below are the photos we took of it and the boards that explain the events surrounding its implosion.

The third volcano we saw is Mount Shasta.  As I mentioned in yesterday's post, Mount Shasta is the 2nd highest Volcano in the Cascade Range.  Here's a bunch of the pictures we took beginning with board to explain some about Mount Shasta:
