Mount Hood is about 48 miles east of Portland in the Cascade Mountains. Mirror Lake is at the foot of Mount Hood, on the southwest side. The hike started with a slight grade up to Mirror Lake, then took a steeper trail to Tom, Dick, & Harry Mountain (which is actually more of a ridge than a mountain). Following the ridge takes you to Treviso's Traverse, where the "so-and-so on a rock" pictures were taken.
