Oregon mountains highlights

  • The Cascade Range bisects Oregon and includes several volcanic peaks, the highest being the famous Mount Hood at 11,249 ft.
  • The Wallowa Mountains in northeastern Oregon contain over 30 peaks at least 9,000 ft high.
  • There are more peaks over 9,000 ft elevation in Oregon than in nearby Washington... a fact that often surprises many mountain enthusiasts in the region.
"January 19, 2026. June like conditions in January. Ascended via 2 o’clock with awesome sticks and kicks. Descended via 1 o’clock. Not bad skiing above Palmer. Awesome skiing on Palmer and below; they finally groomed Palmer. With Ryan and Brooks. " — runningvegan • Jan 19, 2026
"December 28, 2025. One year and one day after breaking my elbow. Good new snow coverage for skinning and skiing. Not as icy as the usual Hood conditions. Hogsback has not really formed yet. Safer to cross the tarn/flat while keeping an eye out for crevasses than climbing up the “Hogsback” that is farther climbers left than usual. New loose snow was covering the previously compacted snow. Making forward progress into 1 o’clock tedious. But still solid conditions. With Ryan." — runningvegan • Dec 28, 2025
"September 27, 2025. Day 3 of 3 of backpacking around Mink Lake Basin. Packed up camp at Horse Lake and connected onto Red Hill Trail. Light bushwacking to the top of Red Hill, nice views of Horse Lake and neat to see my former campsite from afar. Hiked back down and connected back to the trail. Rocks were stacked at the summit, but saw no recent human footprints. Then continued on to the PCT and started hiking south. Short bushwack to the top of Koosah Mountain. Saw a small lightning-struck tree from this year along the PCT on the way back to Elk Lake TH." — runningvegan • Sep 27, 2025

"September 13, 2025. Third Mount Washington summit with Ryan and Brooks. First time free scrambling to the summit; which only took 21 minutes from the saddle to the summit. Did two rappels, from the summit and back to the saddle. An excellent day on the mountain. Brooks's first time on rappel." — runningvegan • Sep 13, 2025
