Driving on Rt. 26 to Madras, Oregon to visit my nephew and his family, we passed by Mt. Hood just outside of Government Camp. Completely SOOC. Best Viewed Large
Retired educator - taught mathematics in high school, went back to graduate school, worked in research labs, and finally went back and taught computer science...
@maggiemae Thank you Maggie, it is my favorite mountain :) @charli321 Thank you Charli, this is a westerly view of the mountain @orangecrush Thank you Jerry, it is snow covered all year, I have driven up there in August and have run into a snow storm :)
@jgilker Thank you Jessika, I always like viewing Mt. Hood :) @kimmistephens Thank you Kimmi, Oregon is a lovely place :) @kerristephens Thank you Kerri,the views along 26 are breath-taking
@beachcomber149 Thank you Norman, since I live in a flat area of the USA, mountains really impress me. @bruni Thank you Bruni, yes that is still snow up there, it actually is a glacier @beautifulthing Thank you Shelly, we don't have any mountains in NJ
@karenann Thank you Karen, I like how it stands out even against the clouds @dishaparekh176 Thank you Disha, every road in Northern Oregon points to Mt. Hood. :) @lyno thank you Lyn, I like this mountain :)
@buggus Thank you Oleta, I have never had a bad view of this mountain, it just a days drive, albeit a long one, from San Francisco :) @exposure4u Thank you Wendy, I enjoy visiting mountains :) @tooki Thank you Tooki, there is a lot to see in Pacific Northwest of the US
@brumbe Thank you Paula, ti was nice out in Oregon with the nights going into the 50s and the days in the 89s with very little humidity :) @chewyteeth Thank you Dave, it is an unincorporated community that was originally an outpost for the Oregon Trail @marttha Thank you Marta, a lot of great views out here
@vernabeth Thank you Beth, it has only been the last couple of years - since we are now retired - that we have been able to go to more places @bkbinthecity Thank you Brian, I like photographing Mt. Hood from all sides @pamfromcalgary Thank you Pam, it is hard to have a bad view of Mt. Hood
@charli321 Thank you Charli, were I took the photo from was about 68 degrees, quite comfortable. If I went up higher into the mountains is does get cold :)
