Broken Top is an extinct glacially eroded stratovolcano in Oregon part of the extensive Cascade Range. Located southeast of the Three Sisters peaks the volcano residing within the Three Sisters Wilderness is 20 miles (32 km) west of Bend Oregon in Deschutes County. Eruptive activity stopped roughly 100000 years ago and currently erosion by glaciers has reduced the volcano’s cone to where its contents are exposed. Bend and Crook Glaciers are the two named glaciers on the peak.
