That is Mount Hood, what an impressive site. We passed interesting places like Chief Yellowhorse trading post on Route 66 and Geronimo's restaurant and camping.

Mount Hood Meteor Crater Site - The crater was created some 50,000 years ago when a huge iron-nickel meteorite estimated to have been about 150 feet across and weighing several hundred thousand tons, struck the plain with an explosive force greater than 20 million tons of TNT. Within a few seconds, a crater 500 feet deep and over 4,000 feet across and 2.4 miles in circumference was carved into the once flat rocky plain. The floor of the crater could accommodate twenty football games played simultaneously with more than two million spectators observing from its sloping sides. Now that’s big! The crater has also provided scientific training for the Apollo astronauts from 1964 through 1972. All around the crater we could hear the winds coming with a weird loud, low roar. I walked up the steps to the highest point on the crater’s rim and had to hold on for dear life. Just as I reached the top, the winds stopped and it was perfectly still, then that loud, low roar started and you better hang on tight. They said they have clocked winds of 50 MPH here. I saw a t-shirt in the gift shop that said “I survived the winds at Meteor Crater” and I knew I had to take a picture.
