OREGON FAMILY VACATIONS-MT HOOD/COLUMBIA RIVER
GORGE
Mt. Hood, the tallest of Oregon's Cascade peaks, stands watch over
the awe-inspiring Columbia River Gorge from a height of ll,239 ft..
The often-photographed glacier-glazed peak is home to year-round
skiing and snowboarding. Run-off from its volcanic slopes enriches
soil in the valleys below, which are famous for their production of
pears, peaches, cherries, apricots and apples. One of the largest
concentrations of high waterfalls in the nation spills forth from the
cliffs and ledges that wall in the mighty Columbia River to create the
nation's only national scenic area.
