About Crane Creek Mountains

The Crane Creek Mountains are a small, rugged mountain range located in central Oregon. Spanning approximately 30 miles east to west, the range features steep, forested slopes with numerous rocky outcroppings and craggy peaks. Glaciers and snowfields dot the higher elevations, feeding pristine alpine lakes and streams. The terrain is generally steep and challenging, with few well-developed trails, making much of the range remote and relatively undisturbed.
