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.
Your views, comments, faves and support are always appreciated. Thank you!

OTD post from 2021:
We left CLNP in the south and drove to Hood River up north.
Mt Hood dominates the landscape in the northern half of the state. HFF!
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!

This is the companion to a previous shot of Mt Hood
from the same hike last Autumn. The yellow foliage
was particularly stunning here, in my humble opinion.

You know I'm a master mechanic
I'll stop all your problems
If you let me under your hood

11,249 ft (3,429 m) The peak is home to 12 named glaciers and snowfields. It is the highest point in Oregon and the fourth highest in the Cascade Range. Mount 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%, so the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) characterizes it as "potentially active", but the mountain is informally considered dormant.

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).

"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)!
Oregon's Mt Hood as seen from Marys Peak, with the Willamette Valley in between covered in low clouds. Marys Peak is the high point in the Coastal Range and occasionally offers some nice views. The previous sunset picture (in comments below) was taken from the same place, just looking west over the ocean.

I was wandering the back roads of the Fraser Valley when I came upon some old cars. They sat by the roadside, rusting away a little more each day. I’m definitely not a “car guy” but regardless I decided to stop and see if there was a photograph here. My initial reaction was that they were just some old junkers. The name plate was long gone so I’m not sure make of car used this hood ornament. Regardless I like the futuristic look.
