Oregon: Mt. Hood

Our first view of Mt. Hood (our second "wonder" of Oregon) was from Panorama Point County Park just south of Hood River. The hill is about a mile off Highway 35.

Our next stop was at the USFS Hood River Ranger Station for this view from the parking lot. Mt. Hood is 11,235 feet and received its name in 1792, when a member of Captain George Vancouver's discover expedition honored a British admiral, Samuel Hood.

We had several more glimpses of the mountain as we continued south on Highway 35.
