Maiden Peak, Volcanic peak in Cascade Range, Oregon, US.

Maiden Peak is a volcanic cone in the Cascade Range located in central Oregon. The mountain rises to about 7,773 feet and features snow-capped ridges, old-growth forests, and alpine meadows across its slopes.

In the 1880s Adolph Dekum recorded stone piles 1.5 to 1.8 metres high on the summit, similar to those on the Three Sisters and Mount Bachelor, left by unidentified Native American tribes. A telephone line reached the summit on 10 July 1912 for fire detection, and the first observations followed two weeks later. A camp was set up in 1920, a lookout cabin was built from 1923, and the structure was burned in autumn 1950 and cleared in 1958.

The name Maiden pairs with nearby Bachelor, Three Sisters and The Twins, a family of central Oregon peaks. In the 1880s Adolph Dekum recorded stone piles 1.5 to 1.8 m high on the summit, like those on the Three Sisters and Mount Bachelor, left by unidentified tribes in coming-of-age ceremonies.

The hike to the summit is passable from late spring through early fall and requires proper hiking boots and navigation tools. Weather conditions change quickly at higher elevations, so planning your timing and bringing layers is important.

Ice Age glaciers carved a large cirque into the northeast flank, exposing magma that hardened in the volcano's conduits as rock pinnacles still visible in the upper cirque.
