Mount Hood

This is the view south from Mt Hood. In the distance you can see Mt. Jefferson (10,495'), roughly 50 miles away. The picture isn't clear enough, but I could see the Three Sisters (3 more volcanos) another 50 miles away.
You can drive to Timberline Lodge on the side of Mt Hood (strangely enough it is located right at the tree line). It sits at about 7000' elevation. The lodge is where The Shining was filmed. Most geologists consider Mt Hood to be an extinct volcano, but I gota thrill driving on it anyway.

Mt Hood is the highest point in Oregon at 11,285'.
