Oregon Congressional delegation members outlined their support
for $2.5 million in federal money to help build a Crater Lake
National Park visitor center.
Rep. Greg Walden wrote, "My family and I have
visited, hiked in and enjoyed the wonders of Crater Lake
National Park many times, and it is one of the most
awe-inspiring wonders of the world and a defining natural
feature of our great state of Oregon. As the deepest lake in the
United States and the purest lake in the world, Crater Lake
annually draws 500,000 visitors from around the world, and we
need the proper facilities to help those visitors explore and
learn about our wonderful park. I am very happy to join in a
bipartisan effort with all my Oregon House and Senate colleagues
to support this effort."
Also supporting the request was Rep. Peter DeFazio, who wrote,
"Crater Lake is a national treasure, and it deserves to have
facilities worthy of its unique beauty, its history and its
ecological importance."
