Today, the old Wagon Road, a 22 degree slope on the North face of Mt. Hood going to historic Cloud Cap Inn shown, elevation 6,000'. The glacier in the background is where three climbers perished last Winter. Only one has been found, the others were last heard from while digging a snow cave:
Nice FJ too!

Thanks! The huge lodge, Timberline, is on the South flank and a 'must see' for my out of town guests. This lodge, Cloud Cap, pre-dates the other by about 70 years. The road up was originally hand-built by Chinese laborers who apparently didn't know about road design since it goes straight up instead of using switchbacks.
