Description
Here in southeastern Oregon, Mount Mazama in the Cascade Mountain Range was thought to have collapsed after a violent eruption 7700 years ago. It, perhaps, was the largest volcanic blast in North America during the last 500,000 years. The 12,000 foot high mountain was reduced to an open, six mile wide crater, now filled with rainwater and snowmelt.
The exceptionally clear blue waters of Crater Lake have cast their spell for thousands of years with some of the earliest tales related by the Klamath Indians. Their tribal myths tell of a mysterious deep blue lake with a sacred passage to another world.
