The run around Mount Hood is one of the best runs in the area. You get great views of Mount Hood, and of the surrounding territory including Cascade volcanoes such as Mount Saint Helens, Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, Mount Jefferson, and the Three Sisters. You can see the Coast Range to the west. You can see Portland and the Willamette River. You can see the Columbia River. You can see the desert to the east.
The poster features the glacial fields to give shape to Mt Hood.
The Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim hike “R2R2R” is an amazing 48.3 mile trek (our consistent GPS readings), with an elevation change of 20,000 feet, and a potential temperature change of 70 +degrees. Warning – regular hiking tips don’t cut it in the GC. You need to do special training, understand the perils of canyoneering, and take exactly the right gear or you might die.
