Diamond Peak is a volcano in Klamath and Lane counties in 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. Diverse species of flora and fauna inhabit the area. Prominent in the skyline from foothills near Eugene, Diamond Peak offers a few climbing routes, and can be scrambled. The volcano consists mostly of basaltic andesite, with relatively steep slopes and a volcanic cone that contains pyroclastic materials at its core. Its upper cone is made of andesite, and it 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.
