What can you see from Mount Hood?
360° terrain visibility analysis from Mount Hood — observation point at 3,420 m, coordinates 45.3735, -121.6970.
From Mount Hood, the terrain-limited line of sight reaches up to 279 km. The single farthest piece of visible terrain lies 279 km to the east (bearing 87°), at 1,677 m elevation. These results account for Earth's curvature and standard atmospheric refraction, computed from 30-meter resolution Copernicus GLO-30 elevation data across 1,518,077 terrain samples.
