Is len peak a caldera or a crater?

Len peak is a stratovolcano. It's not a caldera, and really doesn't even have a crater. The whole of Len Volcanic National Park has recorded (over geologic time) a series of formation of large calderas that are always subsequently filled in by new volcanic material. It's an entire field of volcanoes. Not craters, and definitely not a caldera.
