Oregon's Iconic Peaks

Oregon's diverse topography features a range of geological formations, from coastal headlands to extinct volcanic cones. This collection includes Neahkahnie Mountain, which rises above the Pacific Ocean, and the cinder cones of Powell Butte and Hoodoo Butte. Explore the parasitic stratovolcano of Mount Scott overlooking Crater Lake, the distinctive basalt monolith of Hat Rock, and the vibrant, stratified layers of the Painted Hills, which reveal millions of years of climate history through ancient volcanic ash deposits.
