Look Back Lectures: Mt. Hood National Forest
The Mount Hood National Forest is the closest national forest to Portland and
encompasses the northern end of Oregon’s Cascade Mountains and the
Columbia River Gorge. Established in 1908 as the Oregon National Forest and
renamed the Mount Hood National Forest in 1924, it now consists of more
than a million acres and is home to Oregon’s tallest mountain. Cheryl Hill,
author of Images of America: Mount Hood National Forest and Images of
America: Fire Lookouts of Oregon, will detail the history and culture of this
sixty-two mile National Forest.
