Mount Hood (According to GORP)
Mount Hood National Forest
Located twenty miles east of the city of Portland and the northern
Willamette River valley, the Mt. Hood extends south from the strikingly
beautiful Columbia River Gorge across more than sixty miles of forested
mountains, lakes and streams to Olallie Scenic Area, a high lake basin under
the slopes of Mt. Jefferson. Offering fishing, camping, boating and hiking
in the summer, hunting in the fall, and skiing and other snow sports in the
winter. Berry-picking and mushroom collection are popular, and for many area
residents, a trip in December to cut the family's Christmas tree is a long
standing tradition.
