Highway 101 runs along Lake Crescent for about 12 miles. All along this beautiful winding road are numerous pullouts that have beautiful views of the Lake.

Early in the morning is my favorite time to photograph this area. Even in summer the lake and the surrounding mountains are covered in fog. The fog and the light can be used for some very interesting compositions. Later in the day you can use the turquoise blue waters of the lake for your compositions. I have seen some interesting shots of the blue water and Mount Storm King. Remember to use the polarizer if you include the lake in your compositions.
