Mount Hood dominates the landscape and the hearts of all those who view it in the vicinity of Portland, Oregon. It is one of the highest peaks of the Pacific Northwest and one of the most climbed mountains in the United States. It was first climbed in the year of 1857.
Its perfect conical shape rises 11,239* feet. Geologists agree that, like all the Cascade volcanoes, it is in a dormant stage. The last eruption was in 1866.
