Maiden Peak

Maiden Peak

Maiden Peak is a steep-sided shield volcano in the Cascade Range of central Oregon. It is the highest point in the distance between Mount Bachelor and Diamond Peak. Ice Age glaciers carved a large cirque into the northeast flank of the mountain, exposing magma which hardened in the volcano's conduits to form the numerous rock pinnacles now found in the upper part of the cirque.
