In this episode host Zach Urness covers a range of outdoors news topics, including: -Why this is the last summer to swim, fish or take a boat tour at Crater Lake National Park until 2029. -Why this was a very good, but also tragic, ski season in Oregon -Why Oregon set a record for visits to its state parks system -Also: Detroit Lake drawdown, Oregon is drought free, state of the wilderness permit season and the status of endangered wolves and snowy plovers.

Even though we forgot to mention it in the episode, this was our 50th National Park! Wohoo! Crater lake sure has a wow factor even though it is a smaller park. I would love to return and swim in the cleanest water found in America.

Oregon's only national park is a surprisingly dangerous place, and a number of people have died there. Several of these left only bones behind to help us understand what caused their death. (Crater Lake, Klamath County; 1940s, 1970s, 1980s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1309e-skeletons-of-crater-lake.html)

Prepare to be enthralled as we unravel the park's rich history and the diverse flora and fauna that thrive in this mystical environment.However, the allure of Crater Lake is not without its shadowy mysteries. On October 14, 2006, eight-year-old Sammy Boehlke vanished without a trace, despite exhaustive search efforts. This haunting disappearance sets the stage for the chilling tale of Charles McCullough, known as the "Melting Skeleton," and the tragic case of Derek Engerbretson.

David Gonzalez, a 9-year-old boy from San Bernardino, California, disappeared on July 25, 2004, after going to retrieve a drink from his family's car parked near his grandmother's house. Despite extensive search efforts by law enforcement, volunteers, and the community, no trace of David was ever found, and his case remains unsolved. Several theories have been proposed, including the possibility of stranger abduction, family involvement, or an accidental disappearance, but no concrete evidence has emerged to support any particular theory. The lack of witnesses and physical evidence has made it challenging for investigators to determine what happened to David, leaving his family and the community with more questions than answers.In the years since his disappearance, David's case has remained a cold case, with occasional tips leading to renewed search efforts, such as the 2022 search in the San Bernardino National Forest. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children continues to keep David's case in the public eye by updating age-progressed images and appealing for information. Despite the passage of time and the limited leads, law enforcement remains committed to solving the case, emphasizing the need for any new information that could provide a breakthrough. As of now, the disappearance of David Gonzalez is a chilling reminder of the unresolved mysteries that still haunt many communities and families.The disappearance of Charles McCullar in 1975 is one of the most baffling cases in Crater Lake National Park's history. McCullar, a 19-year-old photography enthusiast, went missing during a solo hiking trip in the park's harsh winter conditions. Despite extensive search efforts, his remains were not discovered until almost two years later in a remote part of the park. The remains were found in a bizarre state, with his pants positioned as if he had vanished from within them and only a few bones scattered around. The unusual circumstances and limited evidence have led to numerous theories, including accidental death due to hypothermia, a wild animal attack, foul play, and even supernatural explanations. However, no theory has conclusively explained his disappearance, leaving the case shrouded in mystery.Today, Charles McCullar's case remains unsolved, with no new evidence emerging in recent years. The harsh environment, potential scavenging by wildlife, and remote location of his remains have complicated the investigation, and the case has since gone cold. While the National Park Service maintains records, the mystery of what happened to McCullar endures. His disappearance continues to captivate those interested in unsolved mysteries and serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by nature, as well as the potential for the unknown in the vast wilderness of America's national parks.(commercial at 10:07)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

"Sucking Wind" is a term coined by Crater Lake park rangers to describe the moment when someone walks up to the rim of the caldera for the first time and takes a deep breath, overwhelmed by the surreal scene. Today, we have the privilege of interviewing Superintendent Craig Ackerman, the caretaker of this inspirational and sacred place, Crater Lake National Park. Crater Lake National Park is located in Southern Oregon, and the lake itself is the deepest in the U.S. Known as the “Mirror of Heaven”, the lake's deep blue color comes from its purity and clarity. In this episode, you'll learn about the historic journey of how Crater Lake became a National Park, thanks to the heroic and persistent efforts of a single person. You'll learn about story of the "Old Man of the Lake," a 30-foot log that floats vertically around the lake. And, you'll learn about Crater Lake's sister parks in Slovenia and China, the tale of a car in neutral tumbling 1,000 feet into the lake, and a unique biking event called Ride the Rim. After listening, Crater Lake will quickly jump to the top of your bucket list.Correction Corner The Ride the Rim Event website is https://ridetherimoregon.com/ Sponsors:Who Runs This Park is presented by ExpertVoice: Outdoor brands like Big Agnes, Mammut, La Sportiva, Chaco and more offer discounts on ExpertVoice of up to 60% off for industry experts like you.

On today's podcast, an astronomy group wants a time zone for the moon; Australia will build a huge solar farm in the country's north; the apostrophe ‘s' on Everyday Grammar followed by opinions about how it is written; then, Crater Lake National Park in Oregon.

Crater Lake is one of those places where you can, and probably should, spend a few days exploring. Between Rim Drive, the historic lodge and loads of nearby hikes, there's enough there for days of adventure. But sometimes you don't have that time. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we go through a recent one-night visit to Oregon's famous national park, discussing how to make the most of a short trip to the caldera. Here are some highlights from this week's show: Where to stay in and around the park. Going early in the season might mean fewer crowds, but also less to do. Stopping for gas and stumbling onto a pair of gorgeous waterfalls. Where to find great hiking off the rim of the lake. -- Jamie Hale and Vickie Connor Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Citizens Climate Radio, listeners hear stories, insights, and innovative approaches to tackling climate change. From the unique perspective of a climate change comedian who marries humor with serious environmental advocacy to the empowering tales of youth activism at the global COP28 summit, this episode showcases diverse methods of engagement and action. Highlighting the importance of resilience, space for mental and emotional health, and the groundbreaking work of package-free shopping, it will inspire you while providing you with practical guidance.  A Climate Change Comedian? Brian Ettling shares his compelling journey from a park ranger to an influential climate change comedian, a story that encapsulates the essence of turning gloom into bloom. With seventeen years of experience as a seasonal ranger in the majestic landscapes of Crater Lake National Park and Everglades National Park, Brian shares how a simple yet profound question about global warming from a park visitor sparked a drastic shift in his career path and life purpose.  “Excuse me, all-knowing ranger,” a visitor said. “I have a question.” I smiled, humbly curious and certain I had the answer. “What's happening with global warming in the Everglades?” Wait. What?! I knew nothing about global warming, and visitors hate when park rangers tell you, 'I don't know. Brian spent time researching the question and was shocked by what he discovered.  The information I learned scared me. What the (bleep)! Because of climate change, sea level was expected to rise at least three feet in Everglades National Park by the end of the 21st century. The sea would swallow up most of the park and nearby Miami since the highest point of the park road is less than three feet above sea level. UGH, I hate you, climate change! This pivotal moment led him to deeply research climate change, eventually inspiring him to merge his passion for environmental advocacy with his unique sense of humor. An amateur video on YouTube led to two national television appearances on Comedy Central's Tosh.0. Daniel Tosh introduced America to the goofball who became the Climate Change Comedian.  Brian's narrative is a vivid testament to the power of individual transformation and the role of creativity in addressing serious global issues. He illustrates this by recounting defining moments in his journey, and he invites us to experience the journey complete with silly sound effects and a musical score.  Brian Ettling is a dynamic climate change communicator from Portland, Oregon, with a deep history of engagement with Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL). Over the years, he has worn multiple hats within CCL, including legislative liaison, co-chapter leader, and Missouri State co-coordinator. His dedication is evident in his attendance at nine CCL international conferences in Washington, D.C., where he served as a breakout speaker. Additionally, Brian has contributed his insights at the Canadian National CCL conference, showcasing his unwavering commitment to climate advocacy. For a complete transcript and more, visit https://citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/podcast/episode-92-theres-something-funny-about-climate-change/ Resilience Corner Tamara Staton explores the nuanced relationship between space—both physical and emotional—and climate advocacy. Tamara emphasizes the importance of creating space for rest and reflection to enhance effectiveness in climate activism. She illustrates this with personal anecdotes, suggesting, "When I create space, I enable presence and perspective... Creating space widens our window of tolerance, allowing us to respond with grace, ease, and courage to the challenges we face." She underscores the critical balance between passionate activism and the need for self-care to sustain long-term engagement in climate work.

It exemplifies sustainable shopping by offering a wide variety of bulk goods, from flour to laundry detergent, all without disposable packaging, presenting a compelling model for reducing single-use plastics and living one's environmental values. Damon Motz-Storey is an active climate advocate and the Oregon Chapter Director of the Sierra Club, dedicated to promoting sustainable practices and environmental conservation. In other Good News, Peterson Toscano highlights two innovative climate change exhibitions in New York City museums.

S9:E9 – When we checked into Mazama Campground at Crater Lake National Park, we were caught off guard when we realized that our RV site didn't have hookups…at all. How could we have forgotten?! Fortunately, we had a heck of a cliffside view – perhaps the best location in all of Crater Lake. In addition to the stark beauty of the lake, we enjoyed a day trip to Bend, Oregon and a drive through Cascade Lakes. Meanwhile, the mice have struck again! But maybe this time we'll get them once and for all… For more context, check out the video that accompanies this podcast on YouTube (https://youtu.be/-2p6NhIJ-wk) – “Sunrise on Crake Lake (+ a Day Trip to Bend, OR).” Send us your feedback and thoughts via email at travelfomopodcast@gmail.com.

Bio- Bonnie Nork lives in Southern Oregon with her husband, Mike, and daughter, Elaina. Her son, Ryan, is in college. Being active in the outdoors has always been a big part of Bonnie's life. With adventurous parents, she was always out and about as a child, either hiking, backpacking, river rafting, on horseback rides, on canoe pack trips, and more! When Grand Staircase Escalante was signed into a national monument in 1996, her parents planned a backpacking trip there. The whole family was smitten with the landscape, and now Bonnie relishes being able to share such special areas with her husband and children. With such a soft spot for the southwest, Bonnie seems to be finding herself in southern Utah more and more. She landed a position with the Bureau of Land Management as a safety patrol volunteer for North Coyote Buttes, the wilderness area that is home to the famous Wave landmark. In 2023 Bonnie was able to split numerous patrols between three different trips, solo in April, with her daughter in June, and with her brother in September. She's found this experience to be incredibly fulfilling, with each hike throwing interesting interactions her way (seasoned hikers, guides, unprepared tourists, law enforcement, influencers, etc!). Bonnie also hikes in her own backyard, and really anywhere else she can carve out tile to do so! For example, she summited Mt Shasta, 14,179' twice in 2023, with one trip being an overnight and the following done in one day! Crater Lake National Park, the Mountain Lakes Wilderness, and the Sky Lakes Wilderness are all favorite local hiking and backpacking spots. ‌Guest Links- Bonnie on Facebook - Bonnie Nork's Custom Baked Goods | Klamath Falls OR BLM Volunteer Opportunities - U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Volunteer Opportunities - VolunteerMatch Connect with Anna, aka Mud Butt, at info@traildames.com You can find the Trail Dames at: Our website: Trail Dames The Summit: The Summit 2022 - Presented by the Trail Dames The Trail Dames Foundation: Trail Dames Charitable Foundation | Home Instagram: Instagram (@traildames) Facebook: Trail Dames | Facebook Hiking Radio Network: Hiking Radio Network Hiking Radio Network on Instagram: Instagram (@hikingradionetwork) Music provided for this Podcast by The Burns Sisters "Dance Upon This Earth" The Burns Sisters

When you think of crystal clear waters, the pictures that normally come to mind are of the Maldives, some Caribbean or Mediterranean islands with endless beaches. Now these other places can, indeed, boast super clean waters, but there are less expected locations where you can see through the water down to the bottom. Have you ever visited Crater Lake National Park in Oregon? It was formed 7,700 years ago when the volcano, Mount Mazama, collapsed. It's the deepest lake in the United States and it's spotlessly blue. By the way, there's a fun sight inside the lake – the so-called “Old Man of the Lake” that's a vertically floating hemlock, first recorded in 1896.

Crater Lake wasn't always a lake. Knute Berger tells the story of when a blast 50 times the size of Mt St. Helens' blanketed the PNW in ash. Crater Lake National Park in southern Oregon is known for its crown jewel: a brilliantly blue and very deep alpine lake. But some 8,000 years ago, this lake was a mountain.  Then the mountain erupted, blowing its top and layering ash so far afield that it impacted wildlife in Canada. Indigenous people carry oral traditions that share what it was like to witness the blast.  Crosscut's resident historian Knute Berger unearthed this history in a recent episode of the Mossback's Northwest video series, but there is more left to uncover.  In this episode of Mossback, Berger joins co-host Stephen Hegg to more deeply understand the geologic history of the blast and the cultural history of what eventually became known as Mount Mazama. They also discuss the chance of this or any other volcano in the Pacific Northwest blowing again — and what impact that could have on all of us.  For more on all things Mossback, visit crosscut.com/mossback.

When two General Motors executives drove into Crater Lake National Park in July 1952, no one could predict they would be dead within an hour—not even their killers. It was a crime of opportunity, a botched robbery during the middle of summer in a crowded national park. When Albert Jones and Charles Culhane were found shot to death two days later, the story became a national obsession. The FBI used every resource and available agent but, as time wore on, the investigation ran out of steam. A lack of evidence worked to the killer's advantage. He had committed a perfect crime. My guest is Monty Orrick, author of "The Crater Lake Murders: The story of the 1952 murders of two General Motors executives and the search for a killer hiding in plain sight." He not only shares details about the crime and its aftermath, but also offers his own theory on who he believes murdered Albert Jones and Charles Culhane on that fateful summer day.  The author's page at Genius Books: https://geniusbookpublishing.com/products/the-crater-lake-murders?variant=46302290870551 The author's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093321581643 This episode is also sponsored by BetterHelp.

When two General Motors executives drove into Crater Lake National Park in July 1952, no one could predict they would be dead within an hour—not even their killers. It was a crime of opportunity, a botched robbery during the middle of summer in a crowded national park. When Albert Jones and Charles Culhane were found shot to death two days later, the story became a national obsession. The FBI used every resource and available agent but, as time wore on, the investigation ran out of steam. A lack of evidence worked to the killer's advantage. He had committed a perfect crime.The FBI tried hard to solve the case. Their 2,000+ page report details a staggeringly complex, multi-agency effort: 200 ballistic tests, 1000 interviews, 466 license plate identifications. The man hours were beyond calculation, and yielded valuable information— buried within the individual reports of the FBI, Oregon State Police and local agencies are many clues to the nature and identity of the perpetrator.The FBI file has rarely been seen by anyone outside the Bureau until December 2015 when the author received it on two discs, satisfying a Freedom of Information Act request submitted three years before. This book summarizes all the information: the FBI file, Oregon State Police reports, fresh research and interviews, county records, rare first hand accounts, reaction from one victim's family and an obscure college thesis that first named the killer. Add to this, the personal account of a man to whom the killer confessed. Before the confessor died, he swore his wife to secrecy, reminding her about “the things that nobody talks about.”The Crater Lake Murders tells the true narrative: four men with nothing in common until the day they met and, after that, the Fate all Men share.

Thanks for tuning into Curious Cat's very special season three, Cascadia. As the scorching heat of summer continues, I hope you'll retreat with us into the musky wilderness, dip a toe in a chill alpine lake, and reflect on the perfection of nature. This week we travel south to a place not far from the California/Oregon border. Double knot your hiking boots, top off your hydro flask, then douse yourself in holy water or sage because this one is on the spooky side.My first full panic attack occurred in a hotel room half a globe away from CASCADIA - but it was curiously part of Cascadia's legendary Ring of Fire. We were on the final days of a trip of a lifetime to Japan that included a visit to Disney's two parks - Disneyland and Tokyo Sea - which by the way was hands-down the best theme park I've ever been to before or since. Okay, back to that panic attack. We were staying in a hotel on Tokyo Bay and somewhere around 3am I woke up, heart racing, sweating, gasping in enough air not to faint. Everyone else remained asleep, which was better than them freaking out along with me. Heart pounding, sweating, crying. I basically thought I must be dying. If you've not experienced a panic attack , well I hope you never do. As the worst of it began to subside, I had an urge to press my hands against something ice cold. The best I could find in the slim room was a window. I sobbed, wiping my face with my pajama sleeve. After fifteen minutes or so, the attack had run its course. I shared that in love, but also so you will understand how my body reacts when I am near two places; Mount Shasta and Crater Lake National Park. Now as we dive into the facts, stories, legends, ufo lore, and mysteries of Crater Lake, you'll know what I mean when I say I have a visceral reaction to this location.  Let's get into it!I.

What is Hidden Trails of Oregon and why is it playing on Adventure Sports Podcast's feed?Today we're featuring a show created and hosted by previous Adventure Sports Podcast guest, Aaron Millar. In Hidden Trails of Oregon, Aaron takes listeners on an immersive first-person journey across America's wild, weird, and wonder-filled state. Recorded on-location in surround sound audio, this documentary style podcast is designed to put you in the heart of Oregon's most spectacular travel experiences. Led by expert guides and local characters, award-winning travel writer Aaron Millar will take you beyond the guidebook to reveal Oregon's secrets and discover the places only locals know. Join us on an adventure through one of America's most awe-inspiring states and feel what it's like to be there for real.For more information visit www.traveloregon.comOregon Central Nature Trail Show Notes“You really can't help but feel it when you put in a little effort to get a little higher, to get to another vantage point. It makes you feel a sense of being placed in this time and space in a different way. That's the sublime, a timeless element that is beyond what we can conceive. It's so important for the soul of humankind in the future of this landscape, and the future of humanity.”  – Nathan Dwyer, Main Street Tours (from the top of Crater Lake National Park)Join us on the Central Nature Trail for the third part of our documentary road trip, following award-winning travel writer Aaron Millar from the top of Crater Lake National Park to the Columbia River Gorge.We begin snowshoeing to the top of Watchman Peak, for the best view over Crater Lake in the park – “like a sapphire embedded in the Earth”, as Aaron describes it. It's exposed, it's hair-raising and it's worth every shaky step.After that we head to Bend, one of Oregon's premier adventure towns, for some sunset paddling along the Deschutes River surrounded by thousands of swallows, baby Ospreys and a surprise visit from Oregon's state animal. Then it's time to head underground for a spine-chilling 1000-foot descent into a lava tube, formed by a “River of Fire” over 7,000 years ago. We crawl through 18-inch-wide cracks, turn off our head lamps to experience true darkness and marvel at the geologic forces that could create this uniquely beautiful landscape. We finish at the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation for some “river therapy” and a fly-fishing lesson from a native guide. We learn of conserving native first foods, experience some river therapy and Aaron catches his first fish.Through it all, we're going to explore the wonder and awe of the natural world in all its forms, from mile-high views to quiet moments listening to birdsong on the river. We'll discover why the natural world for Oregonians inspires more than just gasps and awe, it inspires care and stewardship of the land. It inspires the sublime and we're going to find plenty of that.Find out more at www.traveloregon.com Produced by Armchair Productions, the audio experts for the travel industry www.armchair-productions.comOur Sponsors:* Check out Green Chef and use my code asp250 for a great deal: https://www.greenchef.com/asp250* Check out Oris Watches: https://www.oris.ch* Check out Roark and use my code ASP15 for a great deal: https://roark.com/* Check out Shopify and use my code asp for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com/aspSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode, Zach takes a winter road trip to Crater Lake National Park and talks about how to get the most out of your journey. Oregon's only national park becomes a winter wonderland during the year's coldest months, becoming an amazing place to snowshoe, ski, snow camp or just get views of the lake while sitting indoors. But the journey to Crater Lake also offers opportunity. The mountain highways leading to the park feature waterfalls, hot springs and snow adventures. Zach offers a roadmap to some of his favorite spots along the way and returning from Crater Lake.

Jennifer Gibson has recently been chosen as the post-wildfire coordinator for the National Park Service. She is no stranger to wildfire recovery. She was personally affected by the Carr Fire in 2018 while working at the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area in California. The blaze burned more than 90% of the park. She's also worked as the chief of resources and fire at Crater Lake National Park. Now, she plans to assist other parks across the country as they manage the impact from wildfires. Gibson joins us with details of how the national agency collaborates with parks in the aftermath of fires.

Rim Drive in Crater Lake National Park is the scenic 33 mile route that goes around the entirety of the lake. Biking Rim Drive offers an incredible route filled with breathtaking views of the lake, canopies of trees and challenging elevation changes. Closed for a good portion of the year due to snow, Rim Drive is a bucket list ride for cyclists who find time to do it when the weather and conditions are just right. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we kick off our new sub-series, My Epic Adventure, with Vickie's recent ride around the rim of Crater Lake. Here are some highlights from this week's show: Logistics and breakdown of riding Rim Drive. (Disclaimer: this is a pretty challenging ride). Training and preparation needed for the ride. Lodging options in and around the park. Details for the official 2023 Ride the Rim event.

Alice Simms always knew her grandfather Albert was murdered. For most of her life, she didn't know much about him, his life or death. Her mother never talked much about him, and Alice never wanted to ask – afraid she may open a painful wound. But after her mother died, Alice believes she came back to her from beyond the veil – and encouraged her to finish what she had begun, to find who killed Albert Jones. Today we visit Crater Lake National Park, the location of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the Pacific Northwest – the murders of Albert Jones and Charles Culhane.
