Mount Hood is an impressive 11,250-foot potentially-active stratovolcano located within the Cascade Volcanic Arc, located approximately an hour southeast of Portland.
The mountain is Oregon's highest mountain peak and is known as one of the most recognizable, lofty peaks in the contiguous United States. It is located within the 1,067,000-acre Mount Hood National Forest, which showcases over 1,200 miles of delightful hiking trails for visitors to enjoy throughout the year.
Six winter resort skiing areas throughout the year include the Mount Hood Meadows, Cooper Spur, Timberline, and the Ski Bowl, totaling more than 4,600 acres of skiable terrain. Visitors can stay at the National Historic Landmark-designated 1938 Timberline Lodge, which offers some of the world's only year-round skiing opportunities.
