	Belknap Crater
		Belknap Crater and its distal lava tongues cover 98 square kilometers of the crest of the central High Cascades in Oregon, USA.
		Belknap volcano is a well preserved Holocene example of the type of volcanic process responsible for construction of the Pleistocene High Cascade platform.
		Belknap is intermediate in scale between diminutive cinder cones with small lava flows such as Twin Craters or Yapoah Cone (south of Belknap) and larger composite cones on a shield base which may reach elevations of 2,500 meters, such as Mt.

	SummitPost - Crater Lake National Park -- Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering
		Crater Lake was "discovered" by John Wesley Hillman's in 1853, though Native Americans were aware of its existence prior to that.
		Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States, and the seventh deepest in the world.
		It is possible to hike around the crater at the top of Wizard Island (the crater at the top is known as Witches Cauldron), but it's necessary to arrive there via the tourist boat (runs from early July to mid-September).

	CVO Website - Belknap Shield Volcano
		Belknap Crater: Focal point of a long-continued and complex episode of Holocene basalt and basaltic andesite volcanism.
		Belknap in central Oregon is the youngest such shield volcano in the Cascades and has lava flows as young as 1,400 years.
		Belknap is intermediate in scale between diminutive cinder cones with small lava flows such as Twin Craters or Yapoah Cone (south of Belknap) and larger composite cones on a shield base which may reach elevations of 2,500 meters, such as Mount Washington or Three Fingered Jack (north of Belknap).

	SummitPost - Crater Peak -- Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering
		Crater Peak is located within the southern portion of the Cascade Mountain Range in the 16,335 acre Thousand Lakes Wilderness.
		Crater Peak sits prominently between Mt. Shasta and Lassen Peak and is ranked at #49 in prominence for all California mountains.
		It is dominated by 8,677 foot Crater Peak, the highest point on the Lassen National Forest, and is a reminder of the glacial action that eroded Thousand Lakes Volcano and created the many small lakes and ponds scattered throughout.

	Deschutes & Ochoco National Forests - Geologic Sites - Windy Point
		Windy Point is a glaciated rock ridge at the northwest base of Black Crater.
		From this point there is a spectacular view across the the Belknap Lava Field to Belknap Crater and Mt. Washington.
		The flow in the foreground actually comes from Yapoah Crater, 5 miles to the south.

	SummitPost - Belknap Crater -- Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering
		Belknap Crater is shield volcano in the central Oregon High Cascades.
		Belknap Crater can be accessed by taking the Little Belknap Crater trail that leaves Highway 242 half a mile west of the Dee Wright Observatory at the summit of the McKenzie Pass.
		The time to climb Belknap Crater is from mid-July to October (when the McKenzie Pass is open).

	The Volcanoes of the Cascades
		One hundred miles due south of Crater Lake, 14,163 foot Mt. Shasta, the highest volcano in California, dominates the landscape.
		Newberry Caldera, 75 miles northeast of Crater Lake and 15 miles south of Central Oregon's largest urban population (the city of Bend), rests atop a 500 square mile shield volcano.
		Lava flows only 1400 years old are found ten miles north of the Sisters, at 6,782 foot Belknap Crater, the youngest shield volcano in the Cascades.

	CVO Menu - Cascade Range Volcano Summary
		Isolated ridges of lava and hydrothermally altered rock, especially in the area of Sherman Crater, are exposed between glaciers on the upper flanks of the volcano: the lower flanks are steep and heavily vegetated.
		Subordinate silicic magmas were erupted intermittently; andesite, dacite, and rhyodacite lavas, intrusives, and pyroclastic flow deposits are associated with the predominant mafic lavas from the lower flanks to the summit of the volcano.
		Crater Lake caldera formed by collapse during the catastrophic eruption of approximately 50 cubic kilometers of magma, 6,845 carbon-14 years B.P. (before present).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Italy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In the year 79 of the Christian Era it suddenly became active again, burying in molten stone, sand, and ashes the cities of Stabia, Herculaneum, and Pompeii, and by its noxious vapours terminating the life of Pliny the Elder.
		Volcanic lakes are very plentiful in the peninsula; they are so called because they occupy the craters of extinct volcanoes, which accounts for their small dimensions.
		The principal one among them is Lake Bolsena (Lacus Vulsinius), containing two islands, Bisentina and Martana, on the second of which, it is said, Amalasuntha, the only daughter of Theodoric, was killed by Teodato in 534, The outlet of this lake is the Marta River.

		This route, part of which is maintained, trail into the Three Sisters Wilderness, proved to be almost impassible for wagon travel.
		Don't let its size fool you — Little Belknap was the origin of the immense lava fields in the foreground.
		From the craters, plan on an hour to tour the Dee Wright Observatory and walk the half-mile (.8 km) Lava River Trail, where you can view the sights at Windy Point Viewpoint.

	Global Volcanism Program \| Belknap \| Summary
		The Belknap Crater area near McKenzie Pass, north of the Three Sisters volcanoes in the central Oregon Cascades, was the source of one of the largest concentrations of youthful volcanism in the Cascade Range.
		Late-stage eruptions from the NE base of Belknap crater produced lava flows that traveled 15 km west into the McKenzie River valley.
		The narrow McKenzie Pass highway provides seasonal access across the barren lava fields with spectacular views toward Mt. Jefferson and the Three Sisters.

		The trail to Little Belknap follows the PCT north 2.4 miles, then a.2 mile side trip to top of Little Belknap, 6300 feet.
		The first part of trail skirts two tree islands then on to the lava flow for the rest of the route.
		I like to get up there once a year, including a climb of Belknap Crater last summer.

	- Little Belknap Crater 9/30/06
		I had a great hike last weekend with my two children (8 and 11) and a friend up to the summit of Little Belknap Crater, just north of McKenzie Pass.
		The trail is the PCT where it crosses Hwy 242, about.4 miles west of the Dee Wright Observatory.
		It was the only place we saw where the rocks were red instead of gray, so it really sticks out.
