Historic Hood River
Mt. Hood Loop Highway

Notes
Our friends at ODOT sent me this image after seeing our Frank Patterson stereo view last week. This is somewhere on the Mt. Hood Loop Highway, probably mid-1920s. The big trees look to be a mixture of cedar and Douglas fir to me, but it’s hard to be sure from this distance.

Wow!! What an amazing picture this is!

Spectacular…makes me wish I had lived in the era. Pardon my ignorance, but is this the precursor to what is Highway 35 today?

Agree about the cedars – that long, straight-grained, shaggy bark… and this is gorgeous. Reminds me of the shot I bought for our home, that Arthur conserved at the museum, of two men on a motorcycle sidecar setup, with dynamite, blasting the road to Lost Lake.

Also looks like a bit of hemlock in there as well.

Would be nice if the Museum had these photos both as postcards and larger for framing..
