*** About Mount Hood: Mount Hood stands as a sentinel over Portland, Oregon, visible from many points within the city and emblematic of the region's volcanic past. Rising to 11,249 feet, it is the highest mountain in Oregon and a prominent landmark of the Pacific Northwest. Known for its picturesque vistas and alpine climate, Mount Hood is a popular destination for skiing, snowboarding, and mountaineering. Beyond its recreational appeal, the mountain plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem, influencing weather patterns and providing critical habitats for diverse flora and fauna. Its slopes support a complex forest ecosystem that includes old-growth Douglas fir and Western hemlock. Mount Hood’s glaciers and snowpack also contribute significantly to the region's water resources, feeding rivers that flow into the Columbia River Basin.
