Oliver Applegate and Joaquin Miller at Crater Lake National Park in the excursion promoted by Will Steel in 1903. Two bearded men, Oliver Applegate (left), Joaquin Miller (rt), on camp stools in front of white tent; forested background of lodgepole pine. The locality is where the roads from Medford (where the excursion started) and Klamath Falls met at the "gate" or place where the first park superintendent W.F. "Frank" Arant later erected an office and residence. Photo by Fred and Oscar Kiser.
