					<h2>About the Villages</h2>
					<p>The Villages of Mt. Hood are one of Oregon's most memorable year-round outdoor recreation locations. Visit any season and you will find exciting Oregon recreation in the Mt. Hood National Forest and BLM's Wildwood Recreation Area. Day hikes of all levels, scenic trails, cycling, skiing and rock climbing at Mt Hood are here, as well as swimming, fly fishing and golfing. We're also a great place for family get-togethers, wedding parties, honeymoons, reunions and holiday getaways.</p>
					<p>The Villages of Mt. Hood offer memorable and affordable lodging options (looking for rental cabins, romantic lodges, charming bed and breakfasts or a full-service resort?) and many choices for peak cuisine experiences, interesting Oregon Trail history, mountain day hikes, wild huckleberries, local Mt. Hood personalities, and mountain events and fun family activities.</p>
					<p>Looking for fun things to do in Oregon? Craving a relaxing day of peace and quiet?

Hood to experience spectacular cascade mountains and rustic beauty that is guaranteed to refresh.</p>
					<p>The Villages of Mt. Hood are minutes from upper snowy playgrounds on Mount Hood, and several enticing day trip options. Mount St. Helens, Columbia River Gorge, Kahneeta and the High Desert, Oregon's famous coastline plus numerous attractions in Portland.
