Mount Hood (height 11,249 feet) is the highest mountain in the state of Oregon and a major outdoor recreation site in the Pacific Northwest. Located about 50 miles (80 km) east-southeast of Portland, the mountain is visible from the city on clear days and usually forms the backdrop for the Portland skyline in postcards and photographs of the city. It is a volcano of the conical stratovolcano type. It last erupted in 1907 and the last major eruption was in 1781-82.[Wikivoyage, CC BY-SA]
