Every Monday throughout the summer I will be taking a photo of Mt. Hood, from the same location (Ski Bowl East, horseshoe pit) and posting it, in order to track the weekly progression of its snow melt.Mt. Hood with an elevation of 11,239 is the highest peek in the state of Oregon and is also the second most summited mountain in the world. Eleven glaciers line its year round snow pack but it's obvious to those who have lived around the area that these glaciers are quickly disappearing.
According to scientists Mt. Hood's shrinking glaciers are typical of a worldwide trend.
This photo was taken today around 4:30pm.
