How to get there

This image was taken from Jonsrud Viewpoint, looking onto Mount Hood. This viewpoint is an easily accessible pullout with a small parking lot less than a mile down Bluff Road off of Highway 26. Reference the GPS coordinates to see the exact point where I stood to get this east-facing perspective of Mount Hood and the fog over the Sandy River Valley.
