View south from the top of Llao Rock across Crater Lake, with Wizard Island rising as a small volcanic cinder cone with a reddish summit in the deep blue water. The lake fills the collapsed caldera of Mount Mazama, ringed by steep rock walls. Llao Rock is a lava flow on the rim, named for a figure in Klamath tradition. Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States, and by the 1920s it was an established national park and a destination for travelers in the Pacific Northwest.
