This region of Oregon's snow-capped Cascade range brings to mind Oregon's highest peak, 11,245 ft. Mt. Hood, and world-famous Timberline Lodge. The region also includes Oregon's second tallest peak, 10,496 ft. Mt. Jefferson, which lies 50 miles to the south.
** Click this link to investigate ordering an Iris Glicee signed art print entitled "Mt. Hood, Sandy Headwall." This 20x30 art print portrays an vivid scene of the waterfalls and glaciers of Mt. Hood's west side, the side visible from Metropolitan Portland.
Dreamscape: This starry image began with an image of Mt. Hood's relatively unknown north face after the solo photographer spent an inspired night at 8,000 feet on the windy margin of a glacier. The stars wheeled overhead in crystal perfection while the glaciers glowed softly in response. * Note: this image is digitally manipulated and should not be construed as other than an artistic representation of that perfect night.
Mt Jefferson is a most imposing glacier and rock climb, and the approach marches to it, unlike Mt. Hood, are long and strenuous.
Image 2b (below left).... Secret Tarn high above Jefferson Park--- a gem free of ice only once every few years, so most never glimpse its rare beauty. This tarn lies 65 trail miles south from Timberline Lodge along the Pacific Crest Trail.

Image 3b. "A Walk on the Edge." Climber on the Whitewater Glacier with Mt. Hood to the north.
Image 4b. Mt. Jeffereson's west side in June. A view seldom glimpsed by most Willamette Valley residents, due to the many obstructing lower ranges. Here seen in this view across the canyon of the Mollala River near Table Rock Pk. in the Table Rock Wilderness east of the town of Mollala.
