Beautiful and majestic, Mount Hood is Oregon’s highest mountain and the fourth highest in the Cascade range, measuring 11,240 feet. During winter, the mountain offers six ski areas with 4,600 acres of skiable terrain and the only year-round lift skiing in North America. For those more inclined to warmer pursuits, Hood boasts seemingly endless options for paved and gravel riding. The latter, obviously, is what these guys were after.
