Mount Jefferson (Oregon)
Mount Jefferson
is a
stratovolcano
in the
Cascade Volcanic Arc
, part of the
Cascade Range
, and is the second highest
mountain
in
Oregon
. It is situated in the far northeastern corner of
Linn County
on the
Jefferson County
line, with the lower reaches extending northward into southeastern
Marion County
. The mountain, about east of
Corvallis
, is in a rugged
wilderness
and is thus one of the hardest
volcanoes
to reach in the Cascades, though
USFS
Road 1044 does come within of the
summit
. Jefferson's
craggy
, deeply
glacially
scarred appearance is especially beautiful and photogenic, and the peak has frequently served as a backdrop for
automobile
and
alcohol
advertisements
in the
United States
.
