COFFIN MOUNTAIN
as seen from the west reveals the source of its name
Thinking about visiting a lookout? Here are some things to keep in mind...
Coffin Mtn. sits just East of the Mt Jefferson Wilderness of the Oregon Cascades. ***If you plan on visiting Coffin Mountain please be aware of the following: The lookout structure itself is closed to the public. There are no restroom facilities available for public use(too many noodleheads have thrown non-biodegradables in it) and the lookout has a very limited water supply so pack your own water. Overnight camping is prohibited on this mountain.
