On the cover: Crater Lake was dedicated as a national park May 22, 1902, and its centennial celebration occurs August 24-26 at the park. One of the world's deepest, purest, clearest and most pristine lakes, Crater Lake serves as an inspiration to all visitors. As former park Chief Naturalist Ron Warfield says, "This blue of silence draws us into its spell and forever changes the way we view ourselves."
