This is a Fine Art Photograph of a view of Mount Hood, taken in Oregon, along the American Roadside. Mount Hood is a stunning example of a Stratovolcano with a height over 11,000 feet, it is home to twelve different glaciers. Located in the Pacific Northwest region in the Cascade Mountain range, about 50 miles from Portland, Oregon, on the border between Clackamas and the Hood River counties. Mount Hood caries the dubious possibility of being the most likely volcano to erupt in the Oregon area. It does seem unlikely that it would be a highly explosive eruption like Mount St. Helens in Washington, but non-the-less it would be a very impressive array of fire vents, smoke plumes with hot ash and debris. It has been calculated that Mount Hood would erupt within the next 30 years, even though the volcano is still considered in a dormant phase. The last notable eruption occurred in August 1907, leaving no damage to the surrounding area. However, there is earthquake activity that happens every so often at Mount Hood basin, the last were in July of 1980 and June of 2002. No matter Mount Hood's capability of being a highly destructive force of nature, its majestic beauty is what truly counts. Upon seeing it, Lewis and Clark were stunned by its snow capped splendor and rugged contours.
