Crater Lake, Oregon, in 1909 was still a remote caldera lake in the Cascade Range, far from the main lines of commerce. The national park had been created only in 1902, after decades of local lobbying by people who wanted to protect the deep blue water and its rim of cliffs from logging and mining claims. Access was difficult: visitors generally reached the rim by stagecage or wagon from Medford, Klamath Falls, or the railroad towns to the south and west, and a rough road was the main way in. Hotel and tourist facilities were limited, and the park's early management was still working out how to balance visitors with preservation. Most Oregonians knew the lake more as a scenic wonder to be reached by a long journey than as a place of daily work.
