The Cloud Cap Inn (as seen in this photo from the Oregon Historical Society’s Research Library) was the first permanent resort on Mt. Hood, resting at 6,000 ft. near the Eliot Glacier. It was built in 1889 + featured some major luxuries for the time. It’s no longer open to the public and is now used by search and rescue teams.
Today, Mount Hood is home to three ski resorts: Mt. Hood Skibowl, Timberline Lodge and Ski Area + Mt. Hood Meadows. The latter is the largest on the mountain with more than 2,100 skiable acres.
