CRATER LAKE WITH ITS WIZARD ISLAND
A'
kaitoasroi
Wizard Island thrusts itself 763 feet above the blue
surface of Crater Lake in Crater Lake national park in
southern Oregon. Scientists say Wizard Island is a volcano
which formed on the floor of ML Mazama after the sum
mit of the ancestral mountain had been destroyed in a
cataclysmic eruption. Crater walls in the background
are a part of the old mountain. Water from snows filled
the crater to a depth of 2000 feet. (Oregon State Highway

Lake National Park in southern
Oregon, is a favorite vacation
spot and scenic attraction for
many thousands of visitors
each year from all parts of the
United States.
This scene of ' mysterious
beauty, with its unbelievably
blue waters and towering multi
colored lava cliffs, is wrapped
in the silence of lost centuries,
intensifying the grandeur of
nature's creative efforts. Crater
Lake, with a water area of ap
proximately 20 square miles
and a shoreline of 20 miles,
is resting in an ancient caldera
which owes Us existence to
volcanic activity of prehistoric
times.
Men of science say a giant
volcano, estimated to have been
more than 12,000 feet high,
continued upward from its
present jagged rim for another
5000 feeL The tire mountain,
in its time, is described as hav
ing been one of the most active
of numerous volcanoes which
studded the Pacific northwest
Crater Lake was discovered
by white men In 1853 when a
party of miners was on a vain
search for a fabulous lost mine.
One of the party, John Wesley
mnm.w came oa the sea of
tailing a walk of one and one
half miles and a drop of 1000
feet from the rim village area.
At the foot of the trail boats
are available for fishing and
excursion trips. No license is
required for angling.
The park' is open to travel
throughout the year, but during
the winter no general public

seldom visited during Oregon's
pioneer years. In fact the lake
was rediscovered twice after
Hillman'a first visit The area

veloped.
