Photo 16 May landscapelifescape: Mount Hood from Mount Larch, Oregon, USA (via sebboh) Mount Hood reflected in Trillium Lake Mount Hood, called Wy’east by the Multnomah tribe, is a stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc of northern Oregon. It was formed by a subduction zone and rests in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is located about 50 miles (80 km) east-southeast of Portland, on the border between Clackamas and Hood River counties.

Still, the odds of an eruption in the next 30 years are estimated at between 3 and 7 percent,[11] so the USGS characterizes it as “potentially active”, but the mountain is informally considered dormant
