83 The name “Sunset Trail” was also used in reference to the promenade, specifically that section between the Sinnott Memorial and the western end of the walk; Ernest G. Moll, Report of the Trip over the “Sunset Trail,” IV-148 through IV-150 in Leighton, et al., Collection of Notes and Materials on the Study of the Appreciation of Nature, op. cit.
84 USDI-NPS, Rim Auto Caravan, July 14, 1931, 1. Much of the impetus behind observation stations and the interpretation of features along the rim came from cooperating scientists who helped the NPS establish an interpretive program at Crater Lake. Their ideas affected park development to a point, especially during the period of 1929-31; Sager, Report to the Chief Landscape Architect, July 4-August 1, 1930, 3.

87 While some members of the directorate in Washington welcomed the report, other expressed disappointment since Ryder did not furnish much in the way of analysis or guidance at the Sinnott Memorial; Arno B. Cammerer to Albright, June 13, 1933 (Cammerer’s complimentary view of Ryder’s report was weakened somewhat by never having visited the park at that time), and the more negative Harold C. Bryant to Albright, June 25, 1933, both RG 79, Stack 150, 32:35:5, Box 473, Crater Lake files, NARA II.
88 Director Albright’s decision in August 1933 to prohibit road building between Sun Notch and Garfield Peak was more directly supported by study and analysis by associate directors Arthur Demaray and Arno Cammerer; Cammerer to Albright, June 13, 1933, and Albright to Solinsky, August 9, 1933, both RG 79, Central Classified Files 1933-49, Stack 150, 32:35:5, Box 473, Crater Lake files, NARA II.
89 Ryder, Report and Survey of Crater Lake National Park, August 1932, 6-7. He also recommended a trail for the south side of Wheeler Creek near the Pinnacles, expressing the view that visitors should walk to the rim instead of developing too many overlooks for motorists.
