3'' Mt. Jefferson, Oregon, USA, Sandstone

Mount Jefferson, standing at 10,502 ft/ 3,200 m (NAVD88), is the second tallest mountain in Oregon and a prominent landmark in Oregon's High Cascades region. Jefferson's rugged and glacially scarred face attracts many photographers and hikers to its pristine slopes. Because the average elevation around the mountain stays around 5,000 feet, Jefferson has a prominence of over 5,000 feet! The lush western slopes of the mountain are protected within the Mount Jefferson Wilderness, an ecologically complex area protecting 111,177 acres of pristine and ancient conifer forests, rocky outcrops, talus slopes, and scenic alpine meadows. The drier eastern side is within the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. There are over 150 lakes on and around the mountain, and over 190 miles of trails in the wilderness. The Pacific Crest Trail, which runs from Mexico to Canada, runs for 40 miles through the wilderness. One of the more popular areas on Mount Jefferson include the Jefferson Park, known for its wildflower-filled meadows, scenic lakes, and photogenic views of the mountain.

TinyMtn models are most affordable in the "Sandstone" and "White Strong and Flexible" materials. This model is in "Sandstone," which is a glued gypsum material. When you receive the model it will be ready for display, though it may smell funny and need some time to air out. "Sandstone" models are much more brittle than "White Strong and Flexible" models, but feel more like light stone. Do not soak it in water, though you can safely seal it with Polycrylic or a similar water-based clear spray sealant. Read more about this popular material here.

These models have been optimized for the above materials, and are not offered in other materials for strength or cost reasons. If you need one in another material, please contact us and we'll try to accommodate your request.
