ley Mill, Mount Hood post office, Woodworth, 
Parkdale, Mount Hood Lodge, and Cloud Cap 
Inn. Some automobiles go as far south as Tilly 
Jane Creek and Sand Canyon, several miles south 
of Mount Hood Lodge. These points are the 
limit for automobile travel in the Hood River 
Valley. The drives south to Mount Hood Lodge, 
Cloud Cap Inn, and to the head of automobile 
travel in the Hood River Valley are rich in points 
of interest. Mount Hood as seen from the high- 
ways in the upper Hood River Valley is a spectacle 
of supreme and commanding scenic interest, ris- 
ing here, as nowhere else, high above every other 
feature. During the summer season automobiles 
easily negotiate the grade to Cloud Cap Inn, 
within less than 3 miles of the summit of Mount 
Hood, at an elevation of 5,985 feet above the sea. 
Mount Hood, with an elevation of 11,225 feet 
above sea level, is more than half climbed at 
Cloud Cap Inn, which is the starting point for the 
north side climbs of the mountain. 
A new Forest Service road is being built to 
Lost Lake from Dee in the Hood River Valley, 
and will be open for travel during the season of 
1920. This route from Hood River to Lost Lake 
connects Hood River, Tucker’s Bridge, Bloucher, 
Winans, and Dee; thence it follows the West 
Fork and the Lake Fork to Lost Lake. The 
drive from Hood River is now being made to a 
point near Cedar Springs. Here the cars are 
parked in the woods, and the remainder of the 
trip is made on foot over forest trails. Inviting 
forest camp grounds appeal to the autoist along 
the way to Lost Lake. The lake itself is one of 
the beauty spots of the Mount Hood region. 
Free public camp grounds are provided by the 
Forest Service, and camping for the automo-

Sand Canyon, south of Mount Hood Lodge, 
at the head of automobile travel in the upper 
Hood River Valley, is the starting point of forest
