What you are looking at
This camera at Mount Hood Meadows looks from the southeast side of Mount Hood toward the mountain, about 6 km (3.5 miles) from the summit. Rather than a close portrait of the peak, the frame often shows the ski area's base: lodge buildings, lift equipment, gravel roads and the meadow slopes that rise toward the upper mountain, with a railing and pole close to the lens. It belongs to the Cascades Volcano Observatory's camera network.
Mount Hood is Oregon's highest peak and a potentially active stratovolcano. Its last significant eruptive period was in the 1780s, when a lava dome near Crater Rock sent hot avalanches and mudflows down the south and west sides. Steam vents near the summit are still active. Check the CVO Mount Hood page for its current alert level.
New images arrive about every ten minutes. In winter you can see snow depth, grooming and lift activity around the base; in summer the slopes turn to grass and wildflowers. Low clouds often wrap the upper mountain while the base stays clear. Tip: this is a handy check of snow and road conditions at the Hood Meadows base before driving up Highway 35.
