Mt. Jefferson is always there in the Doug. If you climb into the Mt. Jefferson wilderness to Russell Lake and look south at Mt. Jefferson, as shown above, or reach Jefferson Park, just west of the peak, as shown to the right, a close up view of Mt. Jefferson is breath taking. mt Jefferson sunset graphic
