Many set out on the Timberline Trail, travelling as far as Zigzag Canyon and back for an easy, six kilometre day trip. know campers sometimes travel the entire 50 kilometres ofthe Timberline Trail on cross-country skis, but that is best left to those who are familiar with the trail, since it is not easily followed in the winter. Better opportunities for cross- country skiing abound within a short distance of Government Camp, with the 10 kilometre loop around Trillium Lake a favourite among beginners, since the Forest Service grooms and sets track around the lake periodically. certainly, Mount Hood is a place for skiing. English admiral Lord Hood could not have imagined what joy this volcano would someday bring when he sent Vancouver on his voyage of discovery near the end of the 18th century. Few glaciated mountains in the world receive so many visitors, and only one, Mount Fuji, serves more climbers. Although sometimes referred to as the "tourist route," the south-side approach requires ropes and crampons for the last 500 metres. Its disparaging nickname belies the lives lost on the route, usually due to poor judgment about weather or poor navigation skills. Magnetic declination is 200 east; neither is the fall line a reliable indicator.

Ramona Falls Hike, Mount Hood Wilderness, Oregon, OR Adventure Description by Tyson Gillard | 06.12.12 The 120-foot Ramona Falls is tucked away on the western flanks of Mount Hood, and while the cascade is a remarkable destination by itself, the trail leading to the falls is equally delightful. You'll begin hiking along the open and sandy bed that flanks the Sandy River. The granular nature of the soil means that the river bed is home to a distinct blend of flora not typically found in the Mount Hood area, such as the many lodgepole pines, Oregon beaked moss, juniper haircap moss and broom moss. Once you've reached Ramona Falls, loop back on the trail’s northern section, where you'll gain a great appreciation for Ramona Creek. The trail follows the creek and adjacent cliffs downstream as it weaves through a forest of western hemlock, noble fir and western red cedar. If you are in the mood for something a little more challenging or you are looking for some good backpacking, continue on the Ramona Falls trail to Bald Mountain/McNeil Point, the scenic and secluded Yocum Ridge, or to the incredible wildflower haven of Paradise Park.

  • 31 FRI 12.8. After Having Breakfast at a Lovely Spot, We Drove Back Onto
    FRI 12.8. After having breakfast at a lovely spot, we drove back onto the highway. A bit of info for us the students of English: In North American and Australian English, major roads such as controlled-access highways or arterial roads are often state highways (Canada: provincial highways). Other roads may be designated "county highways" in the US and Ontario. These classifications refer to the level of government (state, provincial, county) that maintains the roadway. In British English, "highway" is primarily a legal term. Everyday use normally implies roads, while the legal use covers any route or path with a public right of access, including footpaths etc. The term has led to several related derived terms, including highway system, highway code, highway patrol and highwayman. The first photo was taken on the way to our third volcano in Cascade Range - Mt. Hood Mount Hood (3429m) is the tallest point in the U.S. state of Oregon. We can see its reflection in Mirror Lake. The Multnomah tribe name for Mount Hood was Wy'east. 31 Mt. Hood, once again, as seen from Timothy Lake The peak is home to 12 named glaciers and snowfields. It is the highest point in Oregon and the fourth highest in the Cascade Range. Mount Hood is considered the Oregon volcano most likely to erupt, though based on its history, an explosive eruption is unlikely. Still, the odds of an eruption in the next 30 years are estimated at between 3 and 7 percent, so the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) characterizes it as "potentially active", but the mountain is informally considered dormant.

  • Mount Hood by Jon Bell Mount Hood Is a Stratovolcano in Northwest Oregon Located About Fifty Miles East of Portland and Thirty-Five Miles South of the Columbia River
    Mount Hood By Jon Bell Mount Hood is a stratovolcano in northwest Oregon located about fifty miles east of Portland and thirty-five miles south of the Columbia River. At 11,244 feet, it is the highest point in Oregon and the fourth highest peak in the Cascade Range. Mount Hood has played a central role in the geology, history, natural environment, and culture that have helped shape northwest Oregon and the entire Pacific Northwest. Eruptions and Glaciers Composed primarily of andesite and dacite, Mount Hood began to form during volcanic eruptions between 500,000 and 700,000 years ago. Over the ensuing millennia, further eruptions continued to shape and give rise to the mountain. At its highest, Mount Hood topped 12,000 feet, with ice and erosion reducing the peak to its current height. Notable natural features include Cooper Spur, Illumination Rock, Barrett Spur, Mississippi Head, McNeil Point, Yocum Ridge, and Cathedral Ridge. Eruptions on Mount Hood have been characterized less by powerful explosions than by the gradual building and collapse of lava domes, pyroclastic flows, and volcanic mudflows known as lahars. In the past 2,000 years, Mount Hood has experienced three eruptive periods: the Timberline period, just over 1,500 years ago; the Zigzag period, about 600 years ago; and the Old Maid period, between the 1760s and the early 1800s. The most recent major eruption, estimated to have occurred in the 1780s, sent a massive lahar down the Sandy River and left behind Crater Rock, a 550-foot-high lava dome on the mountain’s south side.

    TIMBERLINE SKI AREA MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS AND SKILLS PARK DECISION NOTICE and FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT USDA FOREST SERVICE MT. HOOD NATIONAL FOREST ZIGZAG RANGER DISTRICT CLACKAMAS COUNTY, OREGON T3S, R9E, Sections 7, 12, & 13, Willamette Meridian The Mt. Hood National Forest has completed the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Timberline Ski Area Mountain Bike Trails and Skills Park project in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other relevant Federal and State laws and regulations. BACKGROUND RLK & Company (RLK), the operators of the Timberline Lodge and Ski Area Complex, submitted a proposal for a lift-assisted downhill mountain biking trail system and skills park to the Forest Service in 2010. Lift-assisted mountain biking involves riders using a modified chairlift to bring themselves and their mountain bikes to the top of a mountain bike trail system. Rather than using ski runs as trails, downhill, lift-assisted mountain biking uses trails between 16 and 66 inches in width to descend from the top of the ski lift to the bottom, using turns and following natural contours as they cross though ski runs and the areas between them at a much less steep grade than the ski runs themselves. Grade-reversals, dips, and other techniques are used to control speed, keep riders on the trail, and maintain the trails and the natural resources they pass through. RLK’s goal was to develop a managed, high-quality mountain bike park that would appeal to families and feature predominantly beginner and intermediate level trails, as well as for learning biking skills and riding etiquette.

Title: Ambivalent Landscapes: An Historical Geography of Recreation and Tourism on Mount Hood, Oregon. Mount Hood is an Oregon icon. The mountain has as long and rich a history of recreation and tourism as almost any other place in the American West. But contemporary landscapes on Mount Hood reveal a recreation and tourism industry that has struggled to assert itself, and a distinct geographic divide is evident in the manner in which tourism has been developed.

Paradise Park via Timberline Lodge, OR Adventure Description by Tyson Gillard | 08.30.12 As the snow melts on the slopes of Wy'east in late summer, many worthy subalpine hiking trails open for exploration, but the hike to Paradise Park is one adventure everyone should prioritize. Simply put, Paradise Park boasts the most plush, lively and abundant wildflower meadows in Oregon's Cascades. One of the perks of the hike is that it begins and ends at Timberline Lodge, so you can order a fresh salad or a cold beer to sustain you for the 6 miles in on the dusty trail. The trail passes through groves of mountain hemlock and patches of Sitka mountain ash before reaching Zig Zag Canyon. Here, casual hikers may choose to enjoy the view and turn back after seeing the Zig Zag chasm. Indeed, it appears as intimidating as it is beautiful. To cross this canyon you'll drop roughly 1,000 feet in elevation and regain 1,200 feet, but the effort makes the destination that much more rewarding. Once you arrive you'll return through meadows full of lupine, various species of paintbrush, western pasque flower, Cascade aster, arrowleaf groundsel and stream banks lined with Lewis's and common western monkeyflower.

  • What You Need to Know Before Climbing Mt. Hood Oregon's
    What You Need to Know Before Climbing Mt. Hood Oregon’s highest summit, Mt. Hood, at 3426m, is one to behold. It is an ice cone beautifully rising above lush green vegetation. A mountain-lake nearby, by the name Mirror Lake gives a perfect reflection of Mt. Hood. It lies on the border between two counties; Hood River and Clackamas about 80km south-east of Portland. In North America, this glaciated peak is one of the most coveted by climbers and is situated within Mt. Hood National Forest. After Japan’s Mt. Fuji, it is the second most popular spot for climbers. It houses 12 named glaciers and snowfields, which cover about 80% of the mountain. The famous skiing zone being the Palmer Glacier within Timberline Lodge. Due to past minor eruptions, it is characterized as a potentially active volcano though informally the mountain is considered dormant. Fumaroles near the summit (Devil’s Kitchen and Hot Rocks) contribute to the fear that an eruption is imminent. Although an explosive eruption is unlikely, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates the chances of an eruption between 3-7% in the next 30 years. Mount Hood Climate Mt. Hood experiences the Mediterranean type of Climate. The average temperature is 46.8°F (8.2°C). July is the warmest month with temperatures averaging 63.6°F (17.6°C). While January is the coldest month with temperatures averaging 30.2°F (-1°C). The highest temperature (35°C) was recorded in July and the lowest temperature (- 21.7°C) recorded in January. The mountain gets 38 inches of precipitation yearly.
