Here is a photo of Mt Hood (from the north), that I snapped from an airplane. This is a beautiful mountain that sits 50 miles east of Portland, OR. By mountaineeeing standards, Hood is a short, relatively easy climb. By my standards, it was pretty tough! Several years ago my daughter Hilary and I, along with two nephews, hired guides and made the summit. The last part was steep, about 40 degress, but the sense on top was well worth the effort.Hiking in the mountains is great therapy, something we could all use from time to time.
