After visiting and and exploring the Cascade Locks my next destination, Mount Hood. Mt Hood is one of the tallest and most prominent mountain summits in the country 28/200 (Oregon), Mt Shasta is 11/200 (California) and Mt Rainier 3/200 (Washington), Denali 1/200 (Alaska). California, Oregon and Washington have 30/200 of the most prominent summits in the United States.
After washing down my sandwich with a nice cold beer, Aurora tells me the best view of Mt Hood is close by called Panorama Point within 8 minutes from the restaurant. Running short on time, I followed her advice and I’m happy I did.
After viewing Mt. Hood from Panorama Point, I discover Oregon’s wineries. I never thought Oregon had any and to my surprise there are over 30 wineries and 40 vineyards along the Columbia River from the point I started to where I ended, Cascade Locks to Mt. Hood River Bridge. I will surely be back to visit them in the summer. For a complete list of Oregon’s wineries click here and view the map above and click here for tips on visiting the Gorge.
Quite the find and view, indeed. Now, I had to think about getting to Seattle and it was NYE…
