Nature Notes From Crater Lake

Wizard Island Exploration
By D. S. Libbey
This season we have inaugurated a
visitation to Wizard Island under the guidance of a Naturalist. The
Cinder Cone is ascended, the crater explored and then, after the
descent, the party goes out over a new trail on the rugged cinder slope
and when the trail is extended a visit to the fascinating Witch's Pool
will be made. The visitors making the trip to Wizard Island also make
connections with the last boat in the afternoon which reverses the
normal course and picks up the ones who have explored the island to take
them through Skell's Channel, close to the base of the Devil's Backbone,
and across the center of the lake to the Phantom Ship.
The guide trips of previous years, the
Rim Walk and the Garfield Hike are also being enjoyed by many.
