Finding Waldo

摘要

This summer I traveled with my family to some of the wild and beautiful places that the Sierra Club is trying to protect. The two-week trip was filled with great moments, but the one that stood out came early, in Oregon, and I have local activists to thank for it. We ventured into the Cascade Range, first to Crater Lake-the deepest U.S. lake, with incredibly clear water-then to Waldo Lake, which is even prettier than Crater, though not nearly as famous. Until 1969, the only way to reach Waldo was on foot or horseback. Today, apart from three Forest Service campgrounds, it remains essentially undeveloped, and its water is some of the purest lake water in the world.
