This
photograph of a dead Whitebark Pine overlooking Crater
Lake's Wizard Island was taken from Crater Lake National
Park's West Rim Drive.
Whitebark
Pine (Pinus albicaulis) is a keystone species, a
supplier of pine nuts, seeds and shelter to wildlife. This
long-lived pine is in peril due to the exotic blister rust
disease. Many have died along Crater Lake National Park West
Rim Drive.
