The hikes we took at Mt. Hood were unforgettable. We loved Ramona Falls and Mirror Lake up to Tom, Dick, and Harry. And the Rangers at the ranger station were unforgettably friendly, helpful, and comic, as well.

We love the Mt Hood National Forest. We lived on the edge of it for over 20 years and now live in Sandy. We continue to visit whenever we can!

The Mt. Hood Forest is speckled with lakes, rivers, ski areas, hiking, biking, and simple getaways. Have a fire on Lolo Pass with your friends. Discover winter and summer sports. Moreso: discover the numerous natural zones. Head east and find Oregon's high desert!

the natural beauty and how good the amenities are in most of the parks and campgrounds. Oregon does a great job caring for their parks. Other states could learn a lot from them.

I loved Mirror Lake Trail for snowshoeing, but walking from the Mt. Hood Ski Lodge to the trailhead is dangerous. People walk on top of the snow piled along side the highway for about 1/2 mile.

We cross country skied to Summit meadow on a Saturday. While we weren't alone, there weren't a lot of other trail users. Buy your sno-park pass in town, then park at the maintenance area across US 26 from the road to Timberline; better parking than the Trillium Lk parking area further north.

On my last day in Oregon on June 11, 2012, I left early for a drive from Portland to Mount Hood. Scenic highway 26 was unforgettable. Imagine the sight of a soaring white pyramid set within a lush green valley. That’s Mount Hood and it’s an impressive sight even when viewed from Portland fifty miles away. After a brief stop...

Clearly one of the most spectacular adventures awaiting people in Oregon is climbing Mt. Hood. It draws hikers and many first time climbers from around the Pacific Northwest. Visitors should not be lulled into thinking the mountain is tame. Hikers can enjoy great treks. A north side hike to the lower slopes of Cooper's Spur yields brilliant views of Hood's...
