*** About Mount Hood: Mount Hood is a potentially active stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc of northern Oregon. It was formed by a subduction zone on the Pacific coast and rests in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is located about 50 miles east-southeast of Portland, on the border between Clackamas and Hood River counties. In addition to being the highest mountain in Oregon, Mount Hood has a significant cultural history, being a sacred landmark among the Native American tribes living in the area. Its perennial snow-covered peak attracts scores of climbers and tourists every year, making it one of the most visited snow peaks in America. The surrounding forests and alpine meadows serve as prime hiking and photography sites, especially during the summer months when the wildflowers bloom.
