Mount Hood (called Wy'east by the Multnomah tribe), is a stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc in northern Oregon, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is located about 50 miles (80 km) east-southeast of the city of Portland, on the border between Clackamas and Hood River counties.

Mount Hood's snow-covered peak rises 11,239 feet (3,426 m) and is home to twelve glaciers.[6] It is the highest mountain in Oregon and the fourth-highest in the Cascade Range. Mount Hood is considered the Oregon volcano most likely to erupt,[7] though based on its history, an explosive eruption is unlikely. Still, the odds of an eruption in the next 30 years are estimated at between 3 and 7 percent,[8] so the USGS characterizes it as "potentially active".[8] The mountain is sometimes informally described as "dormant" ("asleep").

Eruptive History

The glacially eroded summit area consists of several andesitic or dacitic lava domes; Pleistocene collapses produced avalanches and lahars (rapidly moving mudflows) that traveled across the Columbia River to the north. The eroded volcano has had at least four major eruptive periods during the past 15,000 years. The last three occurred within the past 1,800 years from vents high on the southwest flank and produced deposits that were distributed primarily to the south and west along the Sandy and Zigzag Rivers. The last eruptive period took place around 170 to 220 years ago, when dacitic lava domes, pyroclastic flows and mudflows were produced without major explosive eruptions. The prominent Crater Rock just below the summit is believed to be the remnants of a dacite dome from then. This period includes the last major eruption of 1781-1782 and a more recent episode ending shortly before the arrival of Lewis and Clark in 1805. The most recent minor eruptive event occurred in August 1907.[12] The glaciers on the mountain's upper slopes may be a source of potentially dangerous lahars when the mountain next erupts. There are vents near the summit that are known for emitting noxious gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Prior to the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, the only known fatality related to volcanic activity in the Cascades occurred in 1934 when a climber suffocated in oxygen-poor air while exploring ice caves melted by fumaroles in Coalman Glacier.

Glaciers

USGS Map of Mount Hood glaciers

Mount Hood is host to twelve[16][17] named glaciers or snow fields, the most visited of which is Palmer Glacier, partially within the Timberline Lodge ski area and along the most popular climbing route. The glaciers are almost exclusively above the 6,000-foot (1,800 m) level, which also is about the level of the average tree line on Mount Hood. More than 80% of the glacial surface area is above 7,000 feet (2,100 m).[18] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

The glacial surface area totals about 145 million square feet (5.2 square miles) and contains a volume of about 12.3 billion cubic feet (0.084 cubic miles). Eliot Glacier is the largest by volume at 3.2 billion cubic feet (91,000,000 m³), and has the thickest depth measured by ice radar at 361 feet (110 m). The largest surface area is the Coe-Ladd Glacier system at 23,100,000 square feet (2,150,000 m²).

Origin of its name

The mountain was given its present name on October 29, 1792 by Lt. William Broughton, a member of Captain George Vancouver's discovery expedition. Lt. Broughton observed its peak while at Belle Vue Point of what is now called Sauvie Island during his travels up the Columbia River, writing "A very high, snowy mountain now appeared rising beautifully conspicuous in the midst of an extensive tract of low or moderately elevated land (location of today's Vancouver, Washington) lying S 67 E., and seemed to announce a termination to the river." Lt. Broughton named the mountain after a British admiral, Samuel Hood.

The Multnomah name for Mount Hood is Wy'east. Legend has it that the name Wy'east comes from a chief of the Multnomah tribe, the tribe after which Multnomah County was named. The chief competed for the attention of a woman who was also loved by the chief of the Klickitat tribe. The anger that the competition generated led to their transformations into volcanoes, with the Klickitat chief becoming nearby Mount Adams and the target of their affection becoming Mount St. Helens. Their battle was said to have destroyed the Bridge of the Gods and thus created the Great Cascades of the Columbia River.[20] The Multnomah were a tribe of Chinookan people who lived in the area of Portland, Oregon in the United States up through the early 19th century. ...

Its status as Oregon's highest point, a prominent landmark visible up to a hundred miles away, convenient access, and relative lack of technical climbing challenges lure many to climb Mount Hood. About 10,000 people attempt to climb each year.[21] Image File history File linksMetadata Download high resolution version (1120x840, 520 KB) File links The following pages link to this file: Mount Hood User:MC MasterChef/Photos Metadata This file contains additional information, probably added from the digital camera or scanner used to create or digitize it. ...

The most popular route, dubbed the south route, begins at Timberline Lodge and proceeds up Palmer glacier to Crater Rock, the large prominence at the head of the glacier. Climbers then proceed around Crater Rock and cross Coalman glacier on the Hogsback, a ridge spanning from Crater Rock to the approach to the summit. The Hogsback terminates at a bergschrund where Coalman glacier separates from the summit rock headwall, and then to the Pearly Gates, a gap in the summit rock formation. Once through the Pearly Gates, climbers proceed to the right onto the summit plateau and then to the summit proper.[22] Bergschrund at the Schnapfenspitze, Austria A Bergschrund (also called rimaye) is a crevasse positioned at the rear of a corrie next to the steep back wall. ... A headwall is the name given to the highest cliff in a glacial cirque. ...


As of Spring 2007, reported changes in the formation of the popular South Route has increased the difficulty of the climb. Reportedly, the Hogsback has shifted west. Also, a technical "ice chute" has formed in the Pearly Gates. Some climbers are opting to climb the "left chute" variation of the Pearly Gates route, but this has also increased the difficulty of the climb, as it is also a technical ice wall 30 feet (9.1 m) or greater in height, and with fall exposure of 500+ feet. Technical ice axes, fall protection, and experience are now recommended in order to attempt the "left chute" variation or Pearly Gates ice chute. The Forest Service is recommending several other route options due to these change in conditions ("Old Chute," West Crater Rim, etc).[23]


Climbing accidents

Main article: Mount Hood climbing accidents

More than 130 people have died in climbing-related accidents since records have been kept on Mount Hood, the first in 1896.[24] Incidents in April 1986 and December 2006 attracted intense national and international media interest. Though avalanches are popularly considered a hazard, most climbing deaths are the result of falls and hypothermia[citation needed]. Despite a quadrupling of forest visitors since 1990, fewer than 50 people require rescue per year.[25] Only 3.4 percent of 2006's search and rescue missions were for mountain climbers.[26] aerial view of Mount Hoods rugged north side Main article: Mount Hood Mount Hood climbing accidents are mountain climbing or hiking-related incidents on Oregons Mount Hood. ...

Mount Hood : Introduction | Frommers.com (481 words)
At 11,235 feet, Mount Hood, a dormant volcano, is the tallest mountain in Oregon.
One of the first settlers to visit Mount Hood was Samuel Barlow, who, in 1845, had traveled the Oregon Trail and was searching for an alternative to taking his wagon train down the treacherous waters of the Columbia River.
The lodge's views of Mount Hood's peak and of the Oregon Cascades to the south are superb and should not be missed.
