Olallie Scenic Area

Olallie Scenic Area is a United States Forest Service designated scenic area located in Oregon's Cascade Range. It is between Mount Hood on the north and Mount Jefferson to the south and contains Olallie Lake along with several smaller lakes. The name Olallie is Chinook Jargon for berry.
The glaciated region is roughly 89% forested with Noble fir, western hemlock, cedar species, pacific silver fir, mountain hemlock and several other tree species. Crossed by the Pacific Crest Trail, Olallie is in the shadow of Mount Jefferson within the Mount Hood National Forest. The volcanic peaks of 10,497-foot Mount Jefferson and 7,215-foot Olallie Butte, both located on the border of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, overlook the area from the south and north. There are some meadows and marshes—Olallie Meadow, at 100 acres , is the largest—and home to a former ranger station. Olallie Lake Guard Station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is near the west end of Olallie Lake.
