Mt Hood viewed from Parkdale, Oregon by Stoney Vintson

This is a wonderful, but lesser known view of Mt Hood from near Parkdale, Oregon north east of the mountain. During late August and early September you are able to fully appreciate all of the hazards relating to glaciers as well as see the underlying ground and its characteristics. Later in the fall and winter the view will be more aesthetically pleasing, but you will not be able to discern these details that are of interest to climbers, hikers, and geologists.
