Mount Mazama as it is today. Prior to about 7,000 years ago you would have seen a 12,000 foot volcano, snow capped year around, in front of you. But then, in the manner of Cascade volcanos, it erupted so violently that rocks were hurled as far away as Saskatchewan. Avalanches of hot rocks spewed forth, creating the flat valley you see here. Then what was left of Mount Mazama collapsed, forming a 7 mile wide caldera.
