This aerial view of Mount Hood from the south shows the Crater Rock lava dome remnants in the center of the photo. The 400-m-wide, 170-m-high Crater Rock dome erupted around 1780 CE and produced block-and-ash flows and resulted in lahars during episodic dome growth. Deposits are distributed along the Sandy River and White River drainages. Photo by Willie Scott, 1990 (U.S. Geological Survey).
