Mt. Hood, Oregon ~ November 24, 2008I took this photo as I drove from Bend to Astoria. Highway 26 approaches Mt. Hood, winding across its shoulder and down the other side into Portland. I must have been in a particular mood or the lighting was just right, because I was compelled to stop and take photos several times. Both of the photos of Mt. Hood on this blog so far are from the same day. They're taken from different places along the road, and each has a unique character.
Mt. Hood is a classicially beautiful volcanic mountain with many scenic points for viewing. It can be seen from Portland as well as from the high desert of Central Oregon. It's also the volcano in Oregon considered most likely to blow, although the odds that it will do so in the next 30 years are reported to be only 3 to 7 percent.

Ah! I got quite close to Mt Hood in Hood River last year!
That's a lovely photo, it's magic!
Gorgeous! I am in Oklahoma right now and we may have a white Christmas. I must say though, snow looks much better on mountains than plains! :)
Happy Christmas Eve!
It's a majestic mountain. The evergreens rocks snow and sky combine to make a very fine photo!
