During this eruption, so much material was evacuated from the internal magma chamber that afterwards, there was not enough left to support the remaining mountain. It collapsed and created the hole - the caldera - that we now see today half filled with water.
What kind of birds might I see? What kind of animals do you have at the park? Where can I pet a chipmunk? A squirrel? It is illegal, dangerous, and harmful to try to pet or feed any animal in the park.
Animals, especially the ones that would approach you for food, carry diseases and will not hesitate to bite the hands that feed them. Also, each animal plays an important role in the park ecosystem. For example, ground squirrels eat pine seeds, but they also store them for winter use. Those seeds not eaten will grow and become new trees. If animals are fed human food, they won't "harvest" natural seeds and the tree population will decline.
Please don't feed the animals and please help the visitors understand why they shouldn't feed them either! Do you have eagles at the park?
Bald eagles are seen fairly often in the summer - especially from the boats. Golden Eagles are more rare, but usually make an appearance a couple times a year. What do you put in the water to make it so blue?
The water is so blue because there is hardly anything else in it - just water. It's not pure water, but it's close. We've all seen the colors in a rainbow when normal white light passes through a raindrop and breaks into the individual colors of the spectrum. All those colors are in sunlight. The reason different objects appear to be different colors lies in the molecular structure of the chemicals that make up that object.
For example, a red shirt appears red because the chemicals in the fabric dye are put together in a way that absorbs all of the colors except red. The red wavelengths then bounce back, hit our retina, and our brain sees "red. Deer, squirrels and birds are most common, but visitors exploring the forests and trails might encounter elk and bobcats. If you are lucky enough to see these amazing creatures, always remain a safe distance away and never feed wildlife.
The warm glow of the sunrise fills Crater Lake in the early mornings with colors reflecting off the water and snow. Sunsets in the park are just as spectacular. On clear, moonless nights, starscapes illuminate the park, and visitors can see satellites, planets and the arms of the Milky Way. Crater Lake is a great place to test your cycling skills. The hilly landscape requires extreme endurance and plenty of training prior to participation. Rim Road goes vehicle-free two days a year for the Ride the Rim event.
Bicyclists from across the country take part in this ride to enjoy the scenic roadway. Crater Lake is the only place in the world to find the Mazama newt.
This subspecies of rough-skinned newt, also called the Crater Lake Newt , is native to the lake. Threatened by invasive species, scientists are trying to combat non-native crayfish and preserve the existence of these unique newts. Usually found hiding under rocks or logs , lucky visitors may spot one of these rare creatures around the edge of the lake. The summer fire season at Crater Lake can scorch thousands of acres of land.
However, this natural occurrence has proven to have positive impacts on the ecosystem. Many plants have adapted to survive fires and thrive in their aftermath from restored nutrients in the soil. While essential to the ecosystem, wildfires can be dangerous for visitors. Always follow fire safety tips when venturing out during fire season! Eerie islands rise out of the lake. Wizard Island is the largest in Crater Lake. The remains of a volcanic cinder cone, it rises more than feet about the surface of the lake.
Visitors in the summer can take a boat tour out to explore Wizard Island and hike to the its summit. Phantom Ship Island is anchored just off the lakeshore and is off the radar of most visitors. Though it resembles a small sailboat, the island is as tall as a story building.
Visitors can get a great view of the island by driving to at Phantom Ship Overlook or by hiking to Sun Notch. Where the water goes, no one knows!
