Among all the amazing volcanoes in the Cascade Range in the Pacific Northwest, Crater Lake National Park in Oregon is a standout. The now water-filled crater formed when Mount Mazama experienced a massive eruption around 7700 years ago. The volcano ejected most of the contents of its magma chamber, leaving a void that the top 5,000 feet (of the 12,000 foot mountain) fell into. The crater was eventually filled with snowmelt and rainwater.  Enchanting Wizard Island (actually a volcano that erupted from the caldera floor after the major eruption) and Phantom Ship island are two features that appear in the lake. In the summer, it's also fun to visit the lake's only boat ramp to take a dip in the lake. Thank you to the National Park Service for making Crater Lake National Park such a great place to tour, hike and swim.
