The Steel Visitor Center at park headquarters is open every day. A park ranger is on duty to assist you with information, weather forecasts, back country camping permits, ski routes and safety tips. An 18-minute film called "The Crater Lake Story" describes the formation of Crater Lake through a story passed down to us from Native Americans who witnessed the event. It is shown throughout the day in the auditorium. Also available for viewing is the "Deep Rover Submersible Studies" film. This 17-minute video focuses on the recent discovery of hydrothermal resources on the lake's floor using a one passenger submersible. The Steel Visitor Center has public restrooms and is fully accessible to visitors with mobility impairments.
