Jefferson
Mt. Jefferson – 10,495 (f) 3,199 (m)
Mount Jefferson on a beautiful morning
from Little Agency Plains, just west of Madras Oregon.
Named for our third President, one of our country’s founding fathers, by the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Thomas Jefferson was a true statesman and a champion of individual rights. He believed that a well-informed electorate was a prerequisite to democracy. This still stands true today, just like the mountain that bears his name.
