How does crater lake affect people

The spirits of the Earth and sky often came and talked with the people. Skell was the spirit of the Above-World.

Llao often came up and stood on top of Lao-Yaina, and his head would touch the stars near the home of Skell.

There was no lake then, just a hole through which Llao passed to see the outside world. One day, Llao saw Loha, daughter of the Klamath Indian chief, and fell in love with her beauty. She rejected him because he was ugly and was from the Below-World. He got angry and swore that he would take revenge on her people.

He tried to destroy the people with the curse of fire. The Klamath Indian chief sought help from Skell. Skell descended from the sky to the top of Mount Shasta. Park Passes. Technical Announcements. Employees in the News. Emergency Management. Survey Manual. Wilderness designation would protect what people are coming to see and living in the area to enjoy. The park is surrounded by thousands of acres of wildlife-rich and scenic forest lands which provide a wild setting and shared habitat for the park and the lands around it.

The headwaters of the Rogue and Klamath Rivers lie within the park, and the Umpqua, Willamette and Deschutes are born in the forests and snow-capped peaks nearby. The Crater Lake region is still home to mountain lions, marmots, elk, black bears and now even wolves.

Protecting Crater Lake and the surrounding landscape around it as wilderness protects one of the largest scenic, recreational and wildlife areas still existing in Oregon. Want national parks in your inbox? What kind of birds might I see? What kind of animals do you have at the park? Where can I pet a chipmunk? A squirrel? It is illegal, dangerous, and harmful to try to pet or feed any animal in the park.

Animals, especially the ones that would approach you for food, carry diseases and will not hesitate to bite the hands that feed them. Also, each animal plays an important role in the park ecosystem. For example, ground squirrels eat pine seeds, but they also store them for winter use. Those seeds not eaten will grow and become new trees.

If animals are fed human food, they won't "harvest" natural seeds and the tree population will decline. Please don't feed the animals and please help the visitors understand why they shouldn't feed them either! Do you have eagles at the park? Bald eagles are seen fairly often in the summer - especially from the boats. Golden Eagles are more rare, but usually make an appearance a couple times a year. What do you put in the water to make it so blue? The water is so blue because there is hardly anything else in it - just water.

It's not pure water, but it's close. We've all seen the colors in a rainbow when normal white light passes through a raindrop and breaks into the individual colors of the spectrum.
