Mt. Hood summit — Attraction in Hood River

Mt. Hood is a must-visit gem in Oregon! Just an hour’s drive from Portland, this towering 11,249-foot dormant volcano offers spectacular views. We stayed at the Timberline Lodge, which gave us easy access to take in the incredible scenery around the summit without needing to be climbers ourselves.

The sunrises and moonrises over Mt. Hood were absolutely breathtaking, especially with a light dusting of first snow during our stay. The play of light on the mountain adds a magical touch, and for anyone who wants to experience the stunning views of both Mt. Hood and its reflection in Trillium Lake, I highly recommend staying overnight at the lodge. Whether you’re there to hike or just soak in the beauty, Mt. Hood...

Groomers need to get more love for how accessible they...
