Mt. Thielsen Wilderness lies along the crest
of the Cascades east of Diamond Lake and south
of Crescent Lake. Created by the 1984 Oregon
Wilderness Act it is 55,100-acres in size.
It is a Wilderness inside the Oregon Cascades
Recreation Area which was created by Congress
in 1984 to "manage, protect and enhance
the recreation values".
Much of this Wilderness is made up of high
alpine forests and open meadows. Elevations
range from 5000 feet to the 9,182 foot summit
of Mt. Thielsen. The Pacific National Scenic
Trail (PCNST) winds through the Mt. Thielsen
Wilderness for 26 miles along the summit of
the Cascade Range.
