Crater Lake elicits awe and wonder in even the most well-traveled visitors. The deep blue water, multicolored cliffs studded with evergreen trees, brilliant summer wildflowers or stark white snow--all combine into a tapestry of unforgettable color.

Crater Lake National Park, located in south central Oregon, was established in 1902 to preserve this deep blue lake encircled by multicolored lava walls.
