Mount Hood rises over the Columbia River in this view, the snow-capped volcano that anchors the eastern skyline of the Portland area and a landmark steamboat and rail travelers watched for on the river. The Columbia Gorge carved by the river gives the peak its frame, and the water in the foreground hints at how the river was the main highway for settlers and goods moving through the region. Mount Hood stands about 11,200 feet high and is the tallest point in Oregon, a fact that made it a reference point for early explorers, surveyors and emigrants heading west along the river.
