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.
The mountain formed from volcanic activity that shaped the central Cascade Range millions of years ago. This geological history predates any human settlement in the Oregon region.
Native American tribes used the mountain as a territorial marker and seasonal gathering place long before European exploration of the Pacific Northwest.
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.
The mountain displays distinct ecological zones at different elevations, from dense forest at the base to exposed rock formations near the summit. This variety allows hikers to experience multiple forest types and plant communities in a single outing.
