Hiking map No. 1004 - Pacific Crest Trail: Cascade Locks to Willamette Pass (Oregon) | National Geographic

After crossing the Columbia River, the PCT climbs quickly out of the Columbia Gorge before winding around the stratovolcanoes of the Central Cascades. Some, like Mount Hood, are covered in glaciers, while others, like Three Fingered Jack, feature jagged peaks carved by ancient, now-vanished glaciers. This section runs primarily through remote forests and vast wilderness areas.
