Cardwell Hills

The Cardwell Hills are a small, rugged mountain range located in western Oregon. This compact range rises sharply from the surrounding valleys, with densely forested slopes and steep, rocky ridges. The terrain is characterized by deep canyons, fast-flowing streams, and a mix of old-growth and second-growth timber. Elevations range from around 1,500 feet in the valleys to the highest point of Cardwell Peak at 4,642 feet. The range's remote, wilderness character provides a scenic backdrop for a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities.
