    Around 290,000 years old the extinct shield volcano known as Mount Thielsen stands out as a prominent landmark with an elevation of 9,184 ft (2,799 m).

    Informally known as Big Cowhorn, Polish explorer Jon Hurlburt renamed the volcano after Hans Thielsen, a railroad engineer and builder. The Klamath name for the peak is hisc’akwaleeʔas.

    It is said that the horn-like spire of Mount Thielsen is struck by lightning more often than any other High Cascade peak, hence the nickname, The Lightning Rod of the Cascades!
