This mountain is often spoken of as the “Pride of Oregon.” Its uppermost peak reaches an altitude of 11,225 feet and is plainly visible from many points on this part of “The Road of a Thousand Wonders.” While this grand mountain is easy to climb, the ascent is steep and the alpenstock and rope are used to aid one in his upward journey. On the top one finds a region of perpetual snow, but the view is indescribably grand. The trip to the summit is one of the most popular trips out of Portland.
[PORTLAND, OREGON. MOUNT HOOD IN DISTANCE]
Portland, often termed the “Rose City,” has many natural advantages and points of interest to the traveler. This popular name is derived from the city’s beautiful parks and homes, where roses are in abundance everywhere. A trip up the Columbia River from Portland will leave an impression on the traveler never to be forgotten. Mountain climbing and ocean bathing are popular sports that help to make Portland a favorite stopping point.
