The Gorgeous Hood To Hood Relay begins at Timberline Lodge on the southern flank of Mt. Hood, and will take teams 54 miles north and east towards Hood River, taking in the Gorgeous beauty of Mt.

Gorgeous Hood to Hood Relay takes place on land ceded to the US Government by tribes of the Columbia Basin. This is the homeland of tribes that have been here for many millennia, and continue to maintain connections to this place. The Walla Walla and Wasco tribes lived along the Columbia River north and east of Wy’East, now known as Mt. Hood. They relinquished approximately ten million acres of land, but reserved the Warm Springs Reservation for their exclusive use. This reservation now borders much of southeastern Mt. Hood National Forest.
