The sight of Oregon’s Mount Hood (53-miles east of Portland) can be something of a revelation. First spotted by Lewis and Clark in 1805, and often compared to another great upswept dome, Japan’s Mount Fuji, Oregon’s tallest peak rises 11,250 feet over gentle forested slopes. Its topographic prominence places Hood amongst America’s loftiest.
