The Ultimate Guide To Mount Hood
Mount Hood, at an elevation of about 11,250 ft about the sea level, is known to be the highest point in all of Oregon State. Mount Hood is possibly an active volcano, built up by many layers of hardened lava, known to have last erupted in the year 1782. There has been no volcanic activity since then but still considered to be an active volcano. It’s quite an experience to see Mount Hood and traversing an active volcanic zone.
