		Mount McLoughlin is located in southern Oregon; it is 9,495 feet in elevation.
		In the Medford area Mount McLoughlin is often referred to as "Mount Pitt" [an early name, after the pits local Indians dug to entrap elk; variations were "Mount Pit" and "Pit Mountain." These names were also applied to Mount Shasta].
