Description
Inside Crater Lake National Park we found the Pumice Desert, it was formed 7700 years ago as part of the largest Cascade range eruption in a million years. Mount Mazama first sent a huge column of ash skyward, followed by a series of glowing avalanches of gas-rich pumice rock that raced down the slopes on all sides. At the Pumice Desert the deposits buried a valley with material over a 100 feet deep, thoroughly destorying all vegetation. Multiple chalanges, including arid, nutrient-poor soil, temperture extremes, and a short growing season have kept forest from successfully recolonizing the area.
