The north side of Mt. Hood has fast become one of my favorite places to visit. The approach is pleasant, the crowds low, and the landscape phenomenal. I'm interested in climbing the Cooper Spur route this season, that follows the left snow field on the northern flanks of the great mountain.
Donn and I went out to take a look and to get some training in for the alpine climbing season. The day couldn't have been better nor the views more captivating. I think I ended up with 50 some pictures of the same perspective. I will go back to this area again and again to hike, camp, ski and bask in the beauty that is in my back yard.
