Soon, the summit will be very crowded | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
Memorial day congestion as climbers head up the hogback and skirt the bergscrund to the left. A cloud cap obscures the Pearly Gates and even more climbers. Click on this pic twice to get a larger format 5-24-03

Voted 10/10 | Looks like the freeway of love on "Da Hood". Most of my family lives in Sandy. This mountain has provided us all with a lot of entertainment, but above Timberline is a ZOO! | | Posted Dec 11, 2008 9:52 am |

Hasn't voted | Sandy is a neat area. I have a daughter who lives near Sherwood so I get to the Portland area fairly regularly and from time to time I take the drive up through Sandy and drive the backway to Hood River. Nice drive and great scenery. | | Posted Dec 11, 2008 5:46 pm |

| Scott Wesemann | Wow! | | 
Voted 10/10 | I have never seen the hogsback that crowded. It also seems a bit dangerous to have that many on the mountain. Great shot Dean. | | Posted Sep 17, 2009 10:44 am |

Hasn't voted | Mt. Hood is best avoided on holidays. Of course, the best time to climb Mt. Hood is around this time of the year. | | Posted Nov 14, 2009 11:20 am |
| Josh Lewis | Unbelievable! | | 
Voted 10/10 | It gets this crowded? I feel quite lucky to have gone when I went which there was only a handful of climbers that day. | | Posted Nov 9, 2011 6:10 pm |

Hasn't voted | Memorial Day is always crowded like this if there is good weather. It was actually fun to be part of the "parade" since most of the peaks I hit are devoid of people. | | Posted Nov 10, 2011 6:01 pm |
| JoelSkok | Wasn't this nice on my ill fated attempt. | | 
Voted 10/10 | Sure, the mountain was nearly empty, but it was late July and extremely icy. I was alone--well equipped, but at the Pearly Gates I thought about my family far away and made the right call. 10/10 great picture | | Posted Sep 5, 2012 7:25 pm |
