Summary

[edit]
Description

Coming up on the south side of Mt Hood, they have around 170 inches of snow around the base of the mountain at present. The clouds would engulf the top of the mountain and then move on and blue sky would appear. I was lucky no one was behind me, since I stopped on the road to get this shot.

In addition to being Oregon's highest mountain, it is one of the loftiest mountains in the nation based on its prominence, and it offers the only year-round lift-served skiing in North America. It stands tall with an impressive elevation of 11,249 feet. This high of elevation makes it Oregon’s tallest mountain as well as the fourth tallest mountain the Cascade Range. In addition to being the state’s tallest mountain, it also holds the title of, “The Oregon Volcano Most Likely to Erupt”. It’s also interesting to note that the Multnomah natives always referred to Mt. Hood as “Wy’east”. Many descendants of the Multnomah natives still call the great mountain, “Wy’east” to this day.
