I drove over 1000 miles last week in search of mountains, but really there is only one main mountain in Oregon. Of course, this is no ordinary mountain, but a volcano that will blow it's top one day. I drove up to the Timberline Lodge which is an amazing place by itself, but there in the middle of July it was packed with countless snowboarders, skiers, backcountry hikers, road bikers, and mountain bikers. The place was hoppin'.
Mt. Hood is a force unto it's own. It is the heart of the state, in my month old opinion. People live on it, ski on it, ride on it, seek it out, and just look at it. It is truly amazing to just sit and stare at it.
This image I took at the top of Lost Lake Butte, elevation: 4468 ft. Mt Hood tops off at 11,240 ft.
