In the small town of Parkdale, the unexpected view of a dark wall of lava known as the Parkdale Lava Flow is a surprise to even longtime Oregonians. This dramatic 7,000-year-old flow is among the largest and youngest in the Cascades. The area can be explored off-trail, with access from adjacent forest roads.

Oregon Mount Hood is a potentially active volcano close to rapidly growing communities and recreation areas. The most likely widespread and hazardous consequence of a future eruption will be for lahars (rapidly moving mudflows) to sweep down the entire length of the Sandy (including the Zigzag) and White River valleys.

Parkdale Lava Flow by miah66 » April 17th, 2015, 8:23 pm Was messing around on Google Earth and saw this large outflow from Mt Hood. Pretty spectacular! It looks like a headwall of lava, perhaps over 100' high. Anyone familiar with this, or hiked around it? Last edited by miah66 on May 11th, 2015, 10:09 pm, edited 1 time in total.
