Mt. Hood is the highest point in Oregon, not so much a mountain as an active volcano and the crown jewel of the Columbia River Gorge, an area seemingly designed by the gods of outdoor recreation.
Image taken just north of Patea township on S.H.3. The Mountain was formerly known as Mt Egmont, name still regularly used.

The Flathead River, in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Montana, originates in the Rocky Mountains near Glacier National Park and flows southwest into Flathead Lake, then after a journey of 158 miles (254 km), empties into the Clark Fork. The river is part of the Columbia River drainage basin, as the Clark Fork is a tributary of the Pend Oreille River, a Columbia River tributary. With a drainage basin extending over 8,795 square miles (22,780 km2) and an average discharge of 11,380 cubic feet per second (322 m3/s), the Flathead is the largest tributary of the Clark Fork and constitutes over half of its flow.

Start of the route.Ben George loking a little daunted.
Lots of potential in this area of China. Bolting OK if you are a little careful and don't do it right on a path.
Accompanying photo shows the scope of the area.

Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota. Another place I visited as a kid. It wasn't the same at all this time. The faces and the mountain didnt change, I did. I highly recommend going to see this again in your older years if you did as a youth. Learn the history of the area...it's pretty interesting. Also look up the "Hall of Records" here on a search. Did you know theres a stairway and room behind the heads?
Finally found a good, safe vantage point, at Thun Field in South Hill. Recommended by a kiting friend.
Mt St. Helens is the first volcano I have seen. Visited there twice. It erupted in 1980 and still an active volcano. Visuallizing its eruption is scary but as a visitor it is exciting. I had to make a quick shot through window as we are about to land and Air-hostess would have given me warning.
I could not take Mt. Hood arial picture which is one of the favorite one for me. I have ground shot of it here. www.flickr.com/photos/chandamama/283354855/
