Mount Hood, Oregon

Mount Hood is one of the most accessible and preeminent of Oregon's volcanoes, located east-southeast of Portland, Oregon, and south of the Columbia River. It is the highest peak in the state (3,426 meters - 11,239 feet) and one of the most often climbed peaks in the Pacific Northwest. Mount Hood has erupted repeatedly for hundreds of thousands of years, most recently during two episodes in the past 1,500 years. Mount Hood is a stratovolcano.
