Mount Hood is an active stratovolcano in the Cascade Range in Oregon, about 80 km east-south-east of Portland and about 9 km from the village of Government Camp in a straight line. Its summit reaches 3,429 metres, making it the highest mountain in Oregon. The mountain holds 12 named glaciers and snowfields and is considered the Oregon volcano most likely to erupt, though the US Geological Survey calls it «potentially active». It has several ski areas, including Timberline, which offers the only year-round lift-served skiing in North America. Its white snowy cone rises above dense pine forest, mirrored in calm Trillium Lake to the south-west, while the historic stone Timberline Lodge stands on its slope among the snow. You can walk the 3.2 km trail around Trillium Lake, visit Timberline, or ski in winter. Mountain weather changes fast and roads may need chains in winter, so check conditions before you go.
