R A T E R L A K E National park has
been termed by many the eighth
wonder o f the world. Nestling
In the heart o f a great moun
tain which, in ages past, was a
livin g volcano, 6,000 feet above tho
sea, with Its sapphire surface unruf
fled, reflecting the many-hued surfaces
o f the 1,000 feet high crater walls
which surroundod It, It is undoubtedly
one o f the most exquisite gems of
color to be found In the world. Its
blue surpasses the blue o f the Bay of
Naples in richness and Intensity and
Its somewhat weird surroundings,
pregnant with mystery and solitude,
are In perfect harmony with the placid
repose o f Its'Surface.
There are glaciers In many coun
tries, high peaks, w ater falls, cascades,
forests and fields o f wild flowqrs to be
found In many lands, but there Is only
one Crater lake. Individuality is as

and w ill leave as lasting an impres
sion as Crater lake.
Crater Lake National park is in the
Cascade range o f mountains in south
ern Oregon. The lake is circular -in
form and about six miles in diameter.
Its surface is at an elevation o f 6,177
feet above sea level and is an average
o f 1,000 feet below the crest o f the
surrounding crater rim. The great
cavity in this mountain was once the
crater o f an active volcano which, at
oae time or another, collapsed, leaving
a receptacle several hundred feet in
depth which te now filled with spar
kling blue water, clear as a diamond
and o f a blue that defies description.
Arranging for Tourists.
T o make this unique gem o f ex
quisite beauty available to the travel
ing public has been no simple problem.
Th e park Is traversed by roads from
the west and from the south and the
approaches are along easy gradients
and through wonderful forests and
alongside beautiful canyons, but upon
a closer approach to the ascent to the
rim o f the crater, the difficulty of
reaching tha lake becomes more and
more serious, and the problems In
volved In establishing proper accom
modations tor the tourists and main
taining them throughout the season
becomes more and more complex.
