Oregon Cascades

The Oregon Cascades are a mountain range in western Oregon, part of the larger Cascade Range that extends from Northern California to British Columbia. They feature rugged peaks, volcanic formations, and dense forests, formed by volcanic activity over millions of years. The range includes notable volcanoes like Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson. The Cascades are vital for their natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and as a source of freshwater and renewable energy. They also influence local climate and ecosystems, supporting diverse plant and animal life in the region.
