GENERAL DESCRIPTION. RATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK is in the very heart of CRATER LAKE, C the Cascade Range in southern Oregon. It has an area of 249 square miles, or 159,360 acres, and was set apart from the public AULDRON-LIKE and circular, 7,000 feet domain and dedicated as a park on May 22, 1902.

The cones vary greatly in size and and 2,000 feet deep. are distributed without regularity. Each has been an active volcano. " To the scientist, a mighty volcano collapsed The fragments, blown out by violent eruption, have fallen upon the volcanic orifice from which they issued and built up cinder cones. within itself, Mount Mazama, 15,000 feet high, telescoped. " To the poet, ' the sea of sapphire,' ' the sea of silence,' ' a lake of mystery.' " To me, a shell hole of a war of worlds—who knows ?

Were we to examine their internal structure, exposed in the walls of the canyons —Congressman Sinnott, in House of Representatives, carved in their slopes, we should find them composed of overlapping August 20,1918, layers of lava and volcanic conglomerate. But to this general form of volcanic architecture there was an exception. One of the very largest of these ancient volcanoes was Mount Mazama, which lifted VI its majestic cone nearly to the height of Mount Rainier, 300 miles to the north. But this was ages ago. No human eyes ever saw Mount Mazama. Long before man came the entire upper part of it in some titanic cataclysm fell in upon itself as if swallowed by a subterranean cav­ ern, leaving its craterlike lava sides cut sharply downward into the central abyss. What a spectacle that must have been! The first awful depth of this vast hole no man can guess. But the volcano was not quenched. It burst up through the collapsed lavas 1 2 CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK.

- Medford, the western gateway to Crater Lake, is reached a few miles beyond. The auto-stage route between Medford and Crater Lake Park, a total length of 69 miles, follows up the Rogue River Canyon, interesting on account of the volcanic origin of the canyon itself, and beautiful because there is so much timber and so many vistas of far-away scenery visible between the trees. Medford is the center of the Rogue River orchard region, and for miles the train passes through ranks upon ranks of fruit trees. Directly to the east rises snow-capped Mount McLoughlin, 9,493 feet above sea level. It overlooks Upper Klamath Lake and is 32 miles south of Crater Lake, which lies in the heart of the Cascade Range, 80 miles from Medford. At Ray Gold the route enters the Rogue River Canyon, which is followed to Grants Pass. The Oregon Caves National Monument is reached from here by auto stage and foot trail and lies 37 miles to the southwest. North of Grants Pass a beautiful view is to be had of the broad valley of the Rogue River, with the peaks of the Coast Range on the western sky line. At Wolf Creek a picturesque horseshoe curve swings out of the canyon and surmounts the grade, forming the crest of the divide between the Rogue and Umpqua River Valleys, and a few miles north the line enters Cow Creek Canyon, which it follows _ for 35 miles. This charming ravine is held between steep Avails Avhich rise at places to a thousand feet above the tumultous stream.

Three miles southwest of Eugene the McKenzie River comes in from the Cascades and joins the Middle Fork of the Willamette. In addition to these rivers, there are many famous trout streams crossed, among them the Molalla, Santiam, Yaquina, and Clackamas, the line river views of this route being particularly noticeable. The Valley of the Willamette is 150 miles long by from 40 to 60 wide. It is a valley of verdure and beauty, the Shasta Route follow­ ing the river closely for miles. At Oregon City the Falls of the Willamette are seen to the west, and here, below the falls, royal Chinook salmon, weighing from 30 to 50 pounds, are taken with rod, reel, and spoon. Oregon City is historical as the home of Dr. John McLoughlin, and the house erected in 1829 is preserved as a memorial to this notable man and pioneer. After him is named the great snow-capped mountain in the Klamath country near Crater Lake. A few miles south of Oregon City is seen Mount Hood, 11.225 feet above the sky line to the east. Crossing the Willamette River on a steel bridge, the " Shasta Route" enters Portland, the metropolis of Oregon, and its chief city. It is built on both sides of the Willamette and within 12 miles of its confluence with the Columbia. The city's heights command unusual views of mountain peaks and surrounding valleys and rivers. From Portland to The Dalles, along the world-famous Columbia River Highway, are many beauty spots of superlative attractiveness. Leaving the highway at this point is an auto road to Bend, the metropolis of central Oregon and center of its great lumber and stock industries. From Bend, Crater Lake National Park may be reached by a fairly good automobile road. The Weed detour is by a Shasta Route brancn line, 86 miles northeast to Klamath Falls. It skirts the timbered foothills of! Mount Shasta, affording a fine view of Shasta Valley to the north-i west with the Siskiyou Mountains beyond. The line passes through Butte Valley and crosses the Oregon State line at Calor. Mount Shasta to the south is seen as a single snow-capped peak, while Mount. McLoughlin rises to the north above the western shore of Upper. Klamath Lake. The auto-stage route between Klamath Falls and. Crater Lake lies through forest and mountain scenery and for 25, miles along the eastern shore of Upper Klamath Lake.

APPROACHES BY AUTOMOBILES. The Pacific Highway, which follows the main line of the railroad north and south, crossing Oregon from Portland to the California State line, a distance of 350 miles, is in excellent shape, being paved almost entirely throughout its length. Motorists traveling south over the highway who desire to visit Crater Lake National Park should turn off at Medford and follow the auto stage road up through the Rogue River Canyon. This road has been widened and greatly improved during the past few years and is in excellent condition to be traveled. Motorists traveling north from California points have choice of several roads branching off from the Pacific Highway, one at Alger, Calif., another at Ashland, Oreg., a third, the road above mentioned, from Medford. The roads from Alger, Calif., and Ashland, Oreg., reach Klamath Falls from where the auto stage road MAP OF CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK CEATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK. II1 is followed to the, park. In via Medford, out by Klamath Falls, or vice versa gives the motorist an interesting trip to the park without retracing a single mile of road.

Klamath Falls is reached by fair road from Keno, Nev., on the Lincoln Highway via Susanville, Calif., which is a point of approach to the Lassen Volcanic National Park in northern California. 12 GEATEE LAKE NATIONAL PARK.
