51F-37-097 (29 July-6 Aug 1985) --- The snow capped peaks of the Oregon Cascades are clearly seen. From bottom to top we see Mount Hood, Mount Jefferson, and the Three Sisters volcanos. The Columbia River is at the bottom. The Deschutes River system and canyon, the scene of railroad wars nearly a century ago, is at the left side. The Cascades make a very distinct rain shadow between the moist forests to the right and the semiario lands to the east (left) of these great mountains.
