Mountain Climbing
Climbing Mt. Hood is a technical climb. There are no trails to the summit. As you ascend Mt. Hood, you enter the Mt. Hood Wilderness & wilderness restrictions apply. The wilderness is heavily visited, so please do your part and Leave No Trace of your visit.
Geologists agree that, like all the Cascade Range volcanoes, Mt. Hood may only be "resting" from more active volcanic activity.
Northwest Avalanche Center provides vital conditions reports for Mt Hood.
