Mount Hood
Clackamas County, United States
Stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc in Oregon, United States. It sits in high country, where snow can close access roads well into early summer.
Why visit: The Rockies, the Sierra Nevada and the Cascade volcanoes — glaciated peaks with roads and trails right up to them.
- ›Start at dawn — afternoon thunderstorms are a real hazard above the treeline
- ›Check the road and pass status before driving up
- ›Acclimatise before hiking high; altitude sickness starts around 2,500m
- ›Carry layers: summits run far colder than the trailhead
