Informations supplémentaires:
Mt. Jefferson, viewed at dusk from the Historic Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood, Oregon. Mount Jefferson is an inactive stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc, the Cascade Range and is the second-highest mountain in Oregon (elev. 10, 497’). Mt. Jefferson was named in honor of US President Thomas Jefferson by the Lewis and Clark Expedition (this was the only High Cascade mountain they named). The expedition, which was sponsored by President Jefferson, first saw the peak from the mouth of the Willamette River in March 1806. The Timberline Lodge was completed in 1937, 18 short months after construction began. It was built entirely by hand, inside and out, by unemployed craftspeople hired by the Federal Works Progress Administration. President Franklin Roosevelt dedicated the lodge in September, 1937. In 1978, Timberline Lodge was declared a National Historic Landmark.
