Mt. Hood, Portland's Mascot

Do you like volcanoes? I do! Believe it or not, Mt. Hood is a dormant volcano east of Portland. Based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Mt. Hood last erupted in 1865. Other interesting facts about Mt. Hood can be found here. Mt. Hood is the highest peak in Oregon, reaching an elevation over 11,000 feet. This fine mountain is also home to 12 glaciers.

I'm writing about Mt. Hood today because I had the chance to snap a few photos of it... from the air! We started our decent into PDX, and when we broke through the clouds, there it was. We don't get to see Mt. Hood every day because it can easily get obscured by clouds. But the days we can see it, the view does not disappoint.
