Mt. Hood Fun
Facts:
Mount Hood is a dormant stratovolcano in northern
Oregon and is about 50 miles to the east of Portland.
It is the highest point in the state of Oregon.
A stratovolcano is a large, steep-sided, symmetrical
cone built of alternating layers (strata) of lava,
ash, cinders, blocks, and bombs. Also called composite
volcano, these stratovolcanoes form some of Earth's
greatest mountains rising as much as 8,000 feet
above their bases
Mt. Hood is the fourth highest mountain in the Cascade
Range.
The elevation is 11,249 feet at it's highest point.
Don't worry, though - our trip will only get up
to about 6,000 feet.
The last eruption is believed to have happened in
the 1790's, but the exact date is not known.
The first known ascent of Mt. Hood was in 1845 by
Sam Barlow his climbing party.
