Tall Pines, Shadowed across the two laner, beautiful blue sky and smack in the middle, one of Oregon’s mountains. This is Mt. Thielson, it’s one of my favs when it comes to local mountains, but then I love them all. I especially like the peak, it reminds me of a soft serve ice cream cone in the winter and then there is that incredible heart that is always at the base of the mountain, winter and summer!

“Much of the Mount Thielsen Wilderness is made up of high alpine forests and open meadows. Elevations range from 5,000 feet to the 9,182 summit of Mount Thielsen, the “lightening rod of the Cascades.” The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the Mount Thielsen Wilderness for 26 miles along the summit of the Cascade Range. A trailhead on Highway 138, one mile east of the north entrance to Crater Lake National Park, is the southern entrance point."
