Fuel costs can add up in a hurry.

Whether you like to admit it or not, transportation may be your biggest expense when it comes to heading up to enjoy the mountain. There's simply no skimping on four-wheel drive and good snow tires. But when it comes to gas, the less spent the better. That's why new competition from low-price box stores selling gas and/or partnering with gas stations is a good thing.

Like the idea of an aerial tram connecting Government Camp to Timberline Lodge? If so, you aren't alone.

All that time in deep snow got him to wondering how much of it will be around in the future.

Slow down there, partner!

Slow down there, partner!

If you're like me, you love your Ski Tracks app. Okay, so it may lack accuracy. Did you really hit 62.1 miles per hour on that cruiser? Really?? Whether you did or didn't, it's hard not to check out your Ski Tracks app as you're riding back up for another run. Maximum speed, distance, vertical, pitch, maps, photos, tunes - it's all in there. Plus it costs all of 99 cents. Who would want to compete with that?  Funny you should ask...

It's hard to beat the hot chocolate at Timberline Lodge.

Dining and drinking options on and around Mount Hood range from an irresistably greasy bag of donuts at Joe's in Sandy to fine fondue and chardonnay at Timberline Lodge's Cascade Dining Room. A good hard day of shredding at high altitude makes everything taste better, so it's best to be open-minded about all your mountain options. I'll organize this article into three sections: Heading up to the Mountain, On the Mountain, and Heading Back Home.

This Digital Public Library image from the 1930s shows that Mount Hood did indeed have a summit hut in the pioneer days of outdoor recreation.

This timeline should give you an appreciation for the rich history associated with Oregon's tallest mountain.
