Review & FAQ:
The slopes of Mount Jefferson are packed with thick oaks and twisted black locust trees, and the high-elevation forests of this mountain make it a unique hike. The Mount Jefferson State Natural Area does not permit camping and contains only one trail, a loop that traverses the ridgeline to the summit that is about 1.1 miles long. The summit, at 4,683 feet, consists of a small viewing area, and a communications tower. The subpeak of Mount Jefferson, Luther Rocks, is actually the more impressive of the two, with sprawling views in all directions.
