Mount Hood National Forest

The Mount Hood National Forest is the closest national forest to Portland and encompasses the northern end of Oregon's Cascade Mountains and the Columbia River Gorge. Established in 1908 as the Oregon National Forest and renamed the Mount Hood National Forest in 1924, it now consists of more than a million acres and is home to Oregon's tallest mountain. Cheryl Hill, author of Images of America: Mount Hood National Forest and Images of America: Fire Lookouts of Oregon, will detail the history and culture of this sixty-two mile National Forest.
