The snow capped summit of a dormant stratovolcano Mt. Hood, Oregon’s highest peak, known as Wy’east to the native Multnomah people, is the focus of this byway that circumnavigates the mountain base.

On this byway volcanoes once erupted and mammoth floods scoured deep gorges. Discover geologic wonders, waterfalls, temperate rain forests and wild rivers. Explore pastoral valleys with farm-fresh produce. Experience the formidable last leg of the Oregon Trail, the Barlow Road. Enjoy this bountiful wonderland that the pioneers called paradise.
