Mt. Hood Campgrounds
It has started giving way to warmer weather on Mt. Hood, and many people are dreaming of their summer plans. In Oregon’s Mt. Hood Territory there are more than 2,000 different campsites offering a wide range of amenities.
When it comes to campground reservations make sure to plan ahead, as the campgrounds tend to fill up as the nicer weather arrives. However, you can escape the weekend crowds with a mid-week visit. Most campgrounds have availability during the week, providing for an even better experience.
Mt. Hood Adventure Park at Skibowl Now Open
The Mt. Hood Adventure Park at Skibowl will partially open their west side operations, which includes the Scenic Sky Chair and Alpine Slide. Their full summer opening of both the east and west sides will happen this weekend on June 15.
Skibowl is widely known for being the largest night ski area in the U.S., but once the warm weather hits, the hills are transformed into a summer playground featuring more than 20 attractions. One of the biggest draws is the dual Alpine Slide, which sends guests shooting down a half-mile track. The ride up the lift to the start is equally fun, offering incredible views of Mt. Hood and the meadows below.
