The drive out Highway 26 from Portland to Mt. Hood National Forest provides glimpses of Mt. Hood around every curve. Rising over 11,000 feet, it's actually hard to hide. Beautiful Mt. Hood has snow year-round and you can find snowboarders and skiers there all summer long. Lifts run from Timberline where there is a wonderful old lodge built in 1937 as part of Roosevelt's WPA efforts. The view from the 6,000-foot elevation is spectacular, encompassing most of the Cascade mountain chain. Especially for us Florida flatlanders, it's pretty impressive.
