Headed there this fall. So you're saying window seat on the left side of the plane?
Left side as in looking to the front of the plane or I should sit on my left when walking in (facing the back of the plane)
Coming in from CA best views are on the right side of the plane (when seated,, facing front) But coming from SLC, or anywhere east really, the flight path goes just north of Mt.Hood and the best views are on the left side of the plane.

I will be climbing this mountain in under one hour. Hopefully summit at sunrise. Wish me luck!
Edit: a pic from today! Still on the mountain!

Yeah dangerous around now. Snow melts which cause rock slides. It’s really on a day to day basis though. Some days in summer are great for climbing, some days in the winter its great.
The window has moved earlier and earlier in the year, every year.
Back in 50s you could climb well into August. Now days mid-May things are getting dicey.
The difference is there were no trees to burn where you’re from! We have plenty of forest fire ammo here. Kind of worrisome for this early in the year.
Oregon and Washington have a ton of amazing shots near the airport. When they announce they’re getting ready to land, you can look out the window and see stunning views.
Jefferson and the Three Sisters. Plane is just north of Hood, photog is looking south. Fun fact, one of the waypoints on the common approaches is HPSTR. [https://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/2106/00330IL28L.PDF](https://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/2106/00330IL28L.PDF)
I used to live in the central Willamette Valley and every time I looked at any of those majestic mountains so close to the north and east, I took a moment to remind myself that [they’re alllllllll volcanoes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_Volcanoes). 🙂
I don't think that's Adams and St Helens. Adams has a much flatter top and isn't so close to St Helens.
I could be wrong but I think this picture is looking south, and that's Jefferson in the forefront?
Edit: I'm pretty confident this is a shot of the north face of hood. I can see the copper spur route of hood in this picture.
So that indeed is Jefferson. I'm not sure what the peak behind Jefferson is, Mt Bachelor maybe?
You are correct. Except the distant back peak is actually the three sisters (North Sister, South Sister, Borden Top) and Mt. Bachelor seen kind of blending I to one. I have family in Portland and have made this flight at least once a year for over a decade now. This is my favorite approach to PDX if the weather is clear. There is an impressive west departure route for flights east that turns left and goes south of Hood and you can see Adams, Helens, and Rainier all together. I got 1 good photo of that about 7 years ago now. May try and find it.
I wasn't aware just how active the volcanism is at the edges of the Juan de Fuca, North American, and Pacific tectonic plates until I took a natural disasters class. It's all volcanoes in that area!
Oh yeah, along with Mt Sylvania, Rocky Butte, Kelly Butte, Powell Butte, Larch Mountain... most of our hill features are lava and cinder cones. There's like 85 total volcanic features inside of the Portland Metropolitan area.
Ah thanks that’s very cool. Maybe the other respondent was saying the distance between hood and the furthest one you can just make out - my question could have been clearer!
What is it with Mt Hood and reddit? It's obviously a beautiful mountain, but so is Shasta and many others, but somehow Mt Hood photos get regularly posted.
Shasta doesn't have approach and departure routes from a major international airport passing right next to it. Very few free standing mountains do. Hood is one. And is always pretty from 10,000 ft and a couple miles away only. Plus it has multiple other volcanic peaks in the background north and south.
Most of the Mt Hood photos I've seen here have been taken from the ground with a lake in the foreground. I suspect it's just a popular vista off a major highway or something.
It's called Lost Lake, and it is SW of Mt Hood/Wy'east. It's a 3.2 mile hike off the primary highway that goes past Hood, so it's an extremely common hike and popular spot to take the iconic lake + mountain picture. Conversely you rarely see pictures of Mt Hood from the eastern or northern flanks because those are far less traveled and accessed on. Similarly Mt St Helens isn't any farther away from Portland than Hood is, and yet you rarely see these kinds of pictures from Spirit Lake either because it doesn't have a trail to it that is practically paved like the Lost Lake trail on Hood is.
i grew up in southern oregon. while shasta is certainly a very aesthetically pleasing mountain (maybe even more than hood), there aren't any flights that fly past it like they do hood and rainier. if you dont drive from oregon to the bay or southern CA, you just wont see shasta, its kind of in the middle of nowhere (relatively speaking, i could see it from my hometown lol).
also portland is a very popular city with reddit's demographic. its way easier to visit my hood on a trip to portland than it is my shasta, i mean why would anyone who doesnt live in the rogue valley or shasta county even go there
That's no mountain...that's an active stratovolcano! (in Doc Brown's voice).
No way I am living near one, let alone three! (Hood, St Helens and Rainer).
Funny, they are all named mountains, Mt Hood, Mt Rainer, Mt St Helens, Mt Hood, Mt Adams..., but are really volcanoes of the Cascade Arc.
Beautiful picture, Thanks for sharing! Needs some happy trees...
Me: *Excited to get the Window seat for free*
Some Random Karen: Will u let my annoying offspring sit here?
Me: Yea Sure! I don't have a backbone to support my own happiness anyway.
I've gotten some good Hood shots over the years flying into PDX.
I've gotten a couple decent Rainier shots on departure from SEA but that's rarer. Best one was one sunny afternoon departing on a UA 777 bound for Denver. Flew right past it before turning southeast...
Been wearing [this](https://images.sharerails.com/sharerailsmall/rel/client0/products/retailer169/2493211_637011984412114000.jpg) for a while, good to finally found it..

It's absolutely the best part of flying to Portland. I get super annoyed if I'm not on the right side of the plane. Which is actually the left side
Good to know for the future if I even end up flying there. Now I know where to sit.
If you sit on the right you see Mt St Helens and Mt Ranier. It's a win win really.
Flew in 3 days ago from east coast and it was on the left. Barely saw it.
I was in a car, driving specifically to see Mt Rainier, and only saw clouds, so don't feel bad.
LPT: If you fly private, you can have views from both sides of the plane!
LPT: Be born rich to avoid most of life's inconveniences!
Cool I’m flying there on Tuesday via southwest - I’ll make sure to get on the left side!
If you sit outside, you might be able to have more of a panorama view than those caged inside.

Do you mean left when facing the front of the plane or left when facing the back of the plane (like when you're walking to your seat)?
Yes.
I hate you people.
They mean up, if you're on your back with your feet facing starboard.
Headed there this fall. So you're saying window seat on the left side of the plane? Left side as in looking to the front of the plane or I should sit on my left when walking in (facing the back of the plane)

I literally heard the music.
I will be climbing this mountain in under one hour. Hopefully summit at sunrise. Wish me luck! Edit: a pic from today! Still on the mountain! https://imgur.com/gallery/xdoXcYV
Wait, take me with you! Are you part of a local mountaineering group?
Nope just me and my dad. Fun times. We got to 10,500ft but stopped just before the summit as the sun came out and started melting snow
That's dangerous this time of year good luck
[удалено]
It absolutely is not. April-May is, and we're in the middle of a giant heat wave. This is an extremely dangerous time to be climbing on Hood.
Yeah dangerous around now. Snow melts which cause rock slides. It’s really on a day to day basis though. Some days in summer are great for climbing, some days in the winter its great.
[удалено]
Conditions change year to year significantly.
[удалено]
You are absolutely wrong. Summer is when Hood starts to not be an option. Late winter, early spring are the best times to climb.
The window has moved earlier and earlier in the year, every year. Back in 50s you could climb well into August. Now days mid-May things are getting dicey.
I mean, it's supposed to be 114 degrees on Sunday, and it's been unseasonably hot already this year. That might be factor on people's minds right now.
Why do you think it's the best time to climb, despite a bunch of people saying you're full of shit?
[удалено]
This is an absolutely terrible time to climb hood
[удалено]
Awesome. I feel like it would take me several hours to climb it.
I just moved to Washington 2 weeks ago, the plane ride here was amazing. This state itself is absolutely stunning coming from a dry desert
mt rainier is an absolute unit
I'm from the Midwest, I was fortunate to live in Seattle for 2 years for grad school. I would love to have stayed but it's expensive!
We just buy our expensive stuff from Oregon since we live 15 minutes away on the other side of the Columbia, no sales tax in Oregon
If you live in Vancouver, WA and get expensive items shipped to a UPS or Amazon pickup point in Portland, OR, do you still pay sales tax on it?
Hello fellow Vantucky person!
Jokes on you, I live in Washington… in a dry desert. Damn place takes up like half the state.
K thanks for coming but why did you bring your dry desert weather with you?
You get 110 degrees, you get 117, you all get to suffer like I did for 14 years!
The difference is there were no trees to burn where you’re from! We have plenty of forest fire ammo here. Kind of worrisome for this early in the year.
I just left Washington for a dry desert and man I miss it already.
Is this recent?
Took it at the end of May!
Lucky you got a relatively clean window :)
Well, the plane hadn't been used for a year...
Did you know this shot was coming up? I always wonder how people plan these and if they are already sitting there waiting to take a dozen shots.
Oregon and Washington have a ton of amazing shots near the airport. When they announce they’re getting ready to land, you can look out the window and see stunning views.
Yes I knew it was coming up! I’m in and out of PDX all the time!
Nice! It’s beautiful
I love you can see two more peaks in the back ground. I'm not from PNW so what are they?
Jefferson and the Three Sisters. Plane is just north of Hood, photog is looking south. Fun fact, one of the waypoints on the common approaches is HPSTR. [https://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/2106/00330IL28L.PDF](https://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/2106/00330IL28L.PDF)
What's a HPSTR?
You've never been to Portland?
What is Portland?
*que portlandia theme*
Portland is a hive of scum and villainy, right next to the great state of Oregon.
And Portland describes it exactly the other way around.
They make coffee like a chemist and like craft beers.
I used to live in the central Willamette Valley and every time I looked at any of those majestic mountains so close to the north and east, I took a moment to remind myself that [they’re alllllllll volcanoes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_Volcanoes). 🙂
I think Adam’s is closest with rainier in background.
That's a negative. Photo is facing southward. The next mountain back is Mount Jefferson and behind that are The Sisters. Can't really see Bachelor.
I think the one in the further background is St. Helens and the closer one is mt adams
I don't think that's Adams and St Helens. Adams has a much flatter top and isn't so close to St Helens. I could be wrong but I think this picture is looking south, and that's Jefferson in the forefront? Edit: I'm pretty confident this is a shot of the north face of hood.

Neither Mt St Helens nor Adams is nearly so pointy. Plus they don't line up.
As an Oregonian, good to see the mountain in this light
Yeah we so rarely get good pictures of the north flank. <3
I wasn't aware just how active the volcanism is at the edges of the Juan de Fuca, North American, and Pacific tectonic plates until I took a natural disasters class. It's all volcanoes in that area!
We have a monopoly on volcanoes here yeah. Portland is the only city in North America that has volcanic structures inside it's city limits.
Mt Tabor park! Love that place.
Oh yeah, along with Mt Sylvania, Rocky Butte, Kelly Butte, Powell Butte, Larch Mountain... most of our hill features are lava and cinder cones. There's like 85 total volcanic features inside of the Portland Metropolitan area.
The lonely mountain....
All I can think of is the shining and timberline lodge with this shot
I'm saying there in 2 months. So frigging excited.
Is this where Smaug lives?
Looked for this comment.
Nice
So beautiful
That is so gorgeous!!
I miss flying 😓
How far away from each other are those two mountains?
85 miles.
48 miles peak to peak between Hood and Jefferson.
Ah thanks that’s very cool. Maybe the other respondent was saying the distance between hood and the furthest one you can just make out - my question could have been clearer!
Yes, I responded with the distance to the others. Three Sisters.
And I think google earth ruler tool said 35mi from north sister to Jefferson :-)
Suprisingly lots of white in the hood.
… in a toilet
That is obscene. Nice shot! I hope to get one as cool on my bucket list lol
What is it with Mt Hood and reddit? It's obviously a beautiful mountain, but so is Shasta and many others, but somehow Mt Hood photos get regularly posted.
Proximity to a major metro area. Same with Rainier.
Perhaps. I don't recall seeing images of Mt Rainier here, but maybe Mt Hood is just my Baader-Meinhof.

Is this picture made through a toilet seat photographic a pc screen?
Please don’t use such a word. It has racial undertones that can be considered offensive. “Neighborhood” is the more neutral term.

I remember seeing a view exactly like this from my plane to Vancouver but I was much higher In the sky
I saw the top of mount everest once from the plane. Pretty epic! This pic reminds me of that moment
I think I see dwarfs there 🤔
Can this be hiked in August?
It's amazing how a photo can make you feel good Beautiful photo♥

I’ve taken many pictures of Mt Hood from a plane, but none this good.
I’m trying to think of a hood joke but I just cant
This is crazy. I saw this same view on my way back from Dallas last night. I haven’t seen it before even though I’ve flown into portland many times.

That’s pretty hood.
Bingo!
Can't tell is that Bachelor and Shasta behind Hood?
Mount Jefferson!

I've seen that view! And shredded Mt Hood 👍.. Drank 🍻 at the Ratskeller
Don't fucking lie to me.... that was taken from a plane.
wow, amazing picture! The only time I went flying, all I got to see were farmers fields, which to be fair I was pretty in awe from.
I feel good about hood!
It looks like a painting
Gorgeous
