Mount Hood (45.4N, 121.7W) is the tallest mountain in Oregon (11,237 feet, 3,426 m) and popular with skiers, hikers, and climbers. It is 45 miles (75 km) east-southeast of Portland, Oregon. Mount Hood is a stratovolcano made of lava flows, domes, and volcaniclastic deposits. Most of the volcano is andesite composition. The main cone of Mount Hood formed about 500,000 years ago. In the last 15,000 years the volcano has had four eruptive periods.
Climbing Mt. Hood from Timberline Lodge. Located at the northern end of the Oregon Cascades, Mt. Hood is a jewel among the Oregon volcanic summits rising to 11,237 feet. With eleven glaciers carving their path down its steep slopes, Hood's beauty has been sculpted over hundreds of thousands of years by fire and ice. Just an hour from metropolitan Portland, the city's skyline is dominated by Mt. Hood's lofty presence. Mt. Hood is among the most climbed alpine summits in the world. The traditional route to Hood's summit starts at historic Timberline Lodge perched at 6,000 feet. We started our climb up the ridge that runs along side the ski area above the lodge.
