Mount Washington has a point

Near Windy Point up the McKenzie Pass scenic loop road, you get great looks at over a dozen major peaks. Mt. Washington, the peak here is distinguished by a sharp point, which is the old volcanic shaft that was once the inside of the lava chimney. Now that the top of the mountain as worn away, the tougher volcanic tube column remains. Up top, you get to see the 2,700 year old lava field. Quite the view up and over the pass.
