Mt. Hood, that giant volcano that presides over Portland, Oregon, impresses visitors in so many ways. The perfect conical shape and snowy white flanks look so idyllic on the horizon. Only Timberline resort, home of the longest ski season in North America, virtually guarantees a summertime skiing and snowboarding. Best of all, rustic Mt. Hood, Oregon, vacation rentals lie scattered around the base, not far from several quaint towns and the fantastic city of Portland.
Many people know Oregon for its microbreweries, but the state’s pinot grigios have also become highly sought after. Many of the best wineries, like Marquam Hill and St. Josef’s, can be found in the shadow of Mt. Hood territory, in the East Willamette Valley. While hiking trails abound in the scenic Mt. Hood National Forest and Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness, don’t forget to set aside a day to drive to the Oregon Coast.
