My first visit to Lost Lake Oregon was this past summer. Being a Colorado native I am new to the Northwest, so I intend on getting as exposed to this region as I can. Mount Hood is a majestic mountain, when I compare it to the Colorado mountains the only real difference is in Colorado there would be a continuous range left and right of a massive peak. Because this mount stands alone in the landscape it makes it even more impressive. This was a beautiful warm sunrise.
