You're looking down at one of the tallest peaks in the continental U.S. At 11,239 feet, it's the fourth-tallest mountain in the Cascade Range. Name this impressive peak.

Mt. Hood is a potentially active so-called stratovolcano about 50 miles from Portland, Oregon. Every year, more than 10,000 people try to climb the mountain, and it's claimed the lives of about 130 of them over the years. Mount Hood was named after a British admiral, Lord Samuel Hood, and first described in 1792 by William Broughton, a member of an expedition under command of Captain George Vancouver.
