Mount Hood is Oregon’s highest peak and one of the most notable of the Cascades volcanoes. The towering basalt cliffs form the incredible river gorge and the snow-topped peak of this famous volcano offers an awe-inspiring landscape that almost seems mythical. There is no shortage of natural delights, such as the mighty Columbia River Gorge, gushing waterfalls, soaring old-growth forests, and valleys filled with wildflowers and lavender in the spring. The surrounding hillsides and valleys are dotted with family orchards and farms, while the volcano itself features eleven glaciers, six ski areas, the Historic Timberline Lodge, and majestic alpine lakes such as Mirror, Lost, and Trillium.
