Mount Hood

Mount Hood
Index page for Mount Hood, on the official website of the USGS, Cascades Volcano Observatory, Vancouver, Washington.  Has many related links, graphics, maps, and images.  Road logs offer interesting field descriptions.

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.
