Welcome to the Mt. Hood region of Oregon’s Mt. Hood Territory where mountain time lets you slow down and experience the great outdoors. One of three Activity Guides, this guide will lead you to suggested trail heads, visitor sites and year-round recreation options for visitors of all ages and skill levels.

In addition to this guide there are two other Activity Guides – Portland Metro Heritage & Culture and North Willamette Valley Agritourism to help plan your trips.

Also, for the long distance traveler, the BEYOND THE TERRITORY section will give you ideas for extending your stay and exploring attractions in the nearby areas of Northwest Oregon.

The suggested highlights along the routes are color coded by type of activity in sequential order. Refer to the legend located on the map.

Mt. Hood is home to world-class recreational opportunities and friendly communities along the road to and from the highest point you can drive to on the mountain, historic Timberline Lodge, located at the 6,000-foot level of Oregon’s highest peak (11,245’). Miles of easy-access hiking and mountain biking trails for all skill levels in summer and fall magically transform to easy-access snowshoe and cross-country ski trails with the winter snowfall. Select trails are ideal for bird watching, wildflower spotting or horseback riding as well. Skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts find the thrills they seek at Mt. Hood ski areas. Area lakes and rivers provide access to fishing, boating, kayaking and white-water rafting. There is plenty for those who just want to enjoy the view as well along our national Scenic Byways. In addition to recreation, Mt. Hood is home to numerous artists’ studios and galleries.
