Mountain View Monday #6

At 10,497 feet tall, this mountain was named after the US President that sponsored the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Before that, it was called Mount Vancouver by the British and Seekseekqua by the Natives in the region. As the second highest mountain in Oregon, it sits along the Cascade Range as a stratovolcano, seen from Central Oregon and the Mid-Willamette Valley. Like Mount Hood to the north, it has a national wilderness named after it.

Today's view of this mountain comes from the headwaters of the Metolius River near Camp Sherman.

As you might have guessed by now, the mountain is Mount Jefferson.
