Again we invite you to come up to Crater Lake National Park and sojourn with us for a time. This year the excessive snow fall of the past winter has made the season unusually late. But now the camp fires are beginning to appear each night on the moraine and the Naturalist programs are in full operation.

To you who have been visitors during past seasons we suggest that you plan your vacation and enjoy the trip or trips you may have omitted previous years. This summer the exhibits along the parapet of the Sinnott Memorial Building are available. It is quite interesting to see the specimens in the display boxes and then to look through the binoculars and actually see the place from which the exhibit material was obtained. Hourly lectures are given by the Ranger-Naturalist. In case you failed to take the Rim Drive last season you will find road conditions more favorable this year. A sunset drive to the foot of the Watchman is added this year.

We wish you would plant to visit us again and enjoy one or all of the following activities:

The hike up Garfield Peak
Afternoon on Crater Lake
Sinnott Memorial Parapet displays - hourly lectures
Rim Drive Auto Caravan
Sunset Drive to foot of the Watchman
Wizard Island Exploration and long lake trip

In this issue we wish to introduce the members of the Research and Educational Staff for 1932.
