Three Fingered Jack Note Card
The Pacific Crest Trail is shown in this scene winding under the Three Fingered Jack Mountain. This trail stretches for miles - north and south through Oregon near the summit of the Cascade Mountain Range.
The elevation of three Fingered Jack is 7,848 feet making it one of the lesser peaks in the Cascade Range as far as elevation is concerned. It has three main rock spires. It remains a mystery as to who named it - or when. Sometime in the 1870s it was called Mount Marion. About 1900 it was said that the present name had been applied because of a three-fingered trapper who lived nearby whose name was Jack.
As far as it is known, the first ascent made of Three Fingered Jack was on Labor Day, September 3, 1923 when six men from Bend, Oregon reached the summit. This party found a series of lava chimneys to ascend in mounting the almost perpendicular walls of the highest finger.
