context_page_description: Diamond Peak is a volcano in Klamath and Lane counties of central Oregon in the United States. It is a shield volcano, though it might also be considered a modest stratocone. Diamond Peak forms part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, a segment of the Cascade Range in western North America extending from southern British Columbia through Oregon to Northern California. Reaching an elevation of 8,748 feet, the mountain is located near Willamette Pass in the Diamond Peak Wilderness within the Deschutes and Willamette national forests. Surrounded by coniferous forest and visible in the skyline from foothills near Eugene, Diamond Peak offers a few climbing routes and can be scrambled.
  The volcano, consisting mostly of basaltic andesite, has relatively steep slopes and an andesitic volcanic cone that contains pyroclastic materials at its core. The mountain has a number of subfeatures including Mount Yoran, Lakeview Mountain, and a number of cinder cones. Diamond Peak was thoroughly eroded by glaciers and has several cirques as a result.
context_section_description: Located 20 miles (32 km) north of Mount Bailey and Diamond Lake in the U.S. state of Oregon, the Diamond Peak volcano represents the predominant feature of the Willamette Pass locality on the border of Klamath and Lane counties, reaching an elevation of 8,748 feet (2,666 m), and can be seen from many summits in western Oregon.
