Mt. Hood Banner Image

Mount Hood ( 11,238 ft )

We made two attempts in June 2005. ( see first picture ) We got as far as the top of the ski area before being turn back. Dropping temperatures and lousy visibility made it a no brainier. I wasn't to upset... we were lodged at the world famous Timberline Lodge. Scene location of the 1980 film " The Shining " Or should I have been ?
