When we were on Mount Lincoln not long ago Adrien suggested that we all go for Mount Hood, which of course I was excited to do since I've never been to US before and never been that high before.
So early in the morning 4 of us,Me,Dean,Adrien and Bonn-Tien left Vancouver and started our way down to Portland.
We stopped in Portland to buy all the groceries we need and have some food then we start driving towards the ski resort on Mount Hood.
Once we got at the ski resort we signed our permits and since it was pretty busy we decided to drive back down a bit and find a spot where we could car camp.
Once we found a nice spot for car camping,we got our tents ready and soon we started to cook our dinner and went to bed pretty early since we had to wake up at midnight.
The alarm was on so it was time to start moving.
We packed everything and after some breakfast we drove to the parking at ski resort of Mount Hood.
There was already a lot of people that were making their way up the mountain and they all formed a snake of headlights.
The views were getting better and better was we were getting higher.
The best views we had were during the sunrise, we could finally get some of that warm sun and we could see far in the valley the mighty looking shadow of Mount Hood.
Once we got at the crater we saw that there was a pretty big line-up on the standard route in the chute, so Adrien adn Bonn-Tien decided to take that route while me and Dean went for a more steeper route which was busy at all but we had to cross a big bergshunrd.
Once we crossed the bergshrund we had a small section of steep snow after what we could start to see the summit in front of us which wasn't too far away now .
Once we got on the summit we waited for a bit for Adrien and Bonn-Tien that got stuck in that line-up on the standard route.
On our way back we all took the standard route which wasn't as busy at that time.
Once we got over that section from there it was easy and fast travel back down to the parking lot and after that we had a long drive back home to Vancouver.
A spectacular trip, couldn't ask for a better destination for my first trip in US.
