Mountain View Winter Shelter
Mountain View Shelter in Oregon is surrounded by forested terrain with views of nearby mountains. Temperatures range from lows in the 30s Fahrenheit during winter to highs in the 80s during summer. Campers can explore the trails of Mount Jefferson Wilderness or visit the scenic Suttle Lake, both accessible from this location.
Description
Accessed from the Maxwell Sno-park, the shelter is open for day use and overnight stays. Overnight maximum capacity is 15 persons. Visitors to the Mt. View Shelter can use either the Big Meadows road or the Maxwell Sno-Park parking areas; however, it is recommended that overnight visitors use the Maxwell area since there is a risk of vehicles at Big Meadows being temporarily "plowed in" in the event of a major snowfall overnight. Please report any misuse, vandalism or suggestions to the Detroit Ranger District.
