Mt. Hood & the Hood River Valley

At the end of a long day of geocaching our way down a geocaching power trail (or whatever it is they call this, when the caches are placed on a dirt logging road and they're not quick park & grabs), we headed down a steep hill and around a sharp bend, and wow! look at that view!

We're actually near the north end of Surveyor's Ridge, where we did some mountain biking a few years back. Mt. Hood is pretty spectacular at any time, but especially poised above the orchards and vineyards of the Hood River Valley. This is one of my favorite shots from our 10-day trip.
