Coe

Oregon's ghost towns are timber camps and high-desert gold strikes, preserved by dry air and long distances.

Coe Glacier is in the U.S. state of Oregon. The glacier is situated in the Cascade Range on the north slope of Mount Hood, at an elevation between 10,500 and 6,400 ft (3,200 and 2,000 m). It was named after Henry C. Coe. Between 1907 and 2004, Coe Glacier lost 15% of its surface area. The glacier terminus retreated 390 metres (1,280 ft) over the same time period.

The on-the-ground condition of Coe is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Coe is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times. The mapped point for Coe is roughly 45.3833, -121.6944 — use it as a starting point and cross-reference a current topographic map before leaving pavement.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
