Hoods Down Classics
View allAll Photos Tagged HOOD,
Mount Hood, called Wy'east by the Multnomah tribe, is a potentially active stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc of northern Oregon. It is the highest point in Oregon, 11,249 ft (3,429 m), and the fourth highest in the Cascade Range.
Something we folks that live within the shadows of the Cascades keep in mind:
Mt. Hood is considered the Oregon volcano most likely to erupt, though based on its history, an explosive eruption is unlikely. Still, the odds of an eruption in the next 30 years are estimated at between 3 and 7 percent, so the U.S. Geological Survey characterizes it as "potentially active." Mt. St. Helens comes to mind...
Regardless I'm looking forward to spending some time at Mt. Hood's bigger brother, Mt. Rainier, this summer.

There were countless rhododendron blooms on my hike in the Mount Hood wilderness last weekend. It was hard to choose just one photo of them so I may post more. This one is my favorite I think. The light was just right and some cool colors in the bokeh of the forest behind them was pleasant.

We left CLNP in the south and drove to Hood River up north.

Late fall when most of the snow pack has melted leaving Mt. Hood pretty much bare bones..no white coat until it snowed 24" that night The wondrous part is the evergreen forest stays green all year.
Thank you for your visit and comments, appreciate it!

I call this image “THE HOOD”
This is a “just for fun” composite image. The building is on Savannah’s Waterfront. It houses a hotel and shops …. the entrance is on the other side of the building facing East Bay Street in the heart of Old Savannah.
The images in the windows, on the balconies, and the building were placed there by the artist to create the feel of an old “Hood” (neighborhood).
A fine day for snowshoeing turned into and excellent day for Mount Hood spotting. Look close and you might see a few climbers.
If you'd like to purchase any of my images, please visit my website. I can make any photo you see here available...

Arizona Central Railroad's trio of classic first generation GPs lead four coal loads and five empty cement hoppers out of Drake, Az, embarking on a roughly four hour journey to the railroad's only customer at the end of the line in Clarkdale, AZ. AZCR 3413, a former Southern Pacific GP9R, AZCR 2279, a former TPW and later Michigan Northern GP7 high hood, and former ATSF chopnose GP7 2164, make up the classic set of power as the two "newer" GP26s rest at the roundhouse in Clarkdale. After never having caught the high hood lead a train back with cars since 2013, I had to make one more trip when I found out all three old units were currently paired up and new GP38-3 replacements (or perhaps additions) were on the way. The railroad has been quite busy, running several times a week now compared to twice a week a year or two ago and a handful of times a month back in 2013 when I first visited. With two new GP38-3s now on the property, I can only hope the high hoods will continue to see service. So far they've stayed busy despite the two GP26s that were added to the fleet last year, but catching all three matching units and a high hood leading will probably become much harder if not impossible to catch. Here the train is seen catching the morning sun and crossing a wooden trestle after having just departed the BNSF interchange in Drake.
2 versions today, Mt Hood at sunrise in autumn, I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Happy holidays in advance.
Looking south over lush farms and orchards at Mt. Hood in the distance. A very special city/area in the Columbia River Gorge.
"Hood River first experienced a boom in tourism after being discovered as a site for windsurfing, and more recently kiteboarding. Hood River County also has some of the best kayaking, mountain biking, downhill and Nordic skiing, and hiking areas in the United States.
Situated in the Columbia Gorge, and surrounded by fields, orchards, vineyards, and at the foot of Mount Hood, Hood River is a popular tourist destination.
All of these factors have led to coverage and acclaim in publications such as National Geographic Adventure, Sunset, Outside, Backpacker, Smithsonian, the New York Times travel section, and others. Hood River has received numerous awards from national magazines, such as "coolest small town" to "fifth best ski-town in America." Most recently, Hood River was featured on CNN as one of "11 great riverfront towns" in the United States." Wiki
I'd love to live here.
Happy Friday!
So many iconic volcanic mountains in the Pacific NW. Mt. Hood is one of the most loved, photographed and admired. Shot taken at Hood River.
"Mt. Hood rises 11,239 feet (3426 meters) above sea level its base spreads over 92 square miles. Mt. Hood is the highest mountain in Oregon; the 4th highest in the string of Cascade Mountain Range volcanoes that stretch from Mt. Garibaldi in British Columbia south to Mt. Lassen in Northern California.
Mt. Hood is the second most climbed mountain in the world, second only to Japan’s holy Mt. Fujiyama.

Welcome to the first day of summer (or winter)!
The last confirmed eruption of Mt. Hood was in 1865-1866.
If you really look at the image - you get a sense of how big this mountain really is. Look at the distance and the amount of trees between my vantage point and the mountain itself.
Someday I'd love to hike on this mountain. Kind of a bucket list item for me.
