    Hiking

    At this location, Crater Lake was first discovered by John Wesley Hillman in June 1853. Crater Lake is the result of a massive eruption of Mount Mazama that collapsed and left a giant hole. Over centuries, the hole filled with rain water and melting snow – the creation of Crater Lake.
