Mount Hood Peak, Oregon, 1998

"Besides sheer beauty, Oregon's highest peak lures visitors with places to hike, camp, fish, and play. 'Some of the more active folks ski in the morning and then drive to Hood River to windsurf that afternoon,' says Bob Tilling, a USGS volcanologist monitoring the area."
