 This is a mountaineering route that requires specialty gear and plenty of planning and preparation. This is not to be attempted as a casual day hike or backpacking trip.
 Mt. Hood is currently one of the most climbed glaciated peaks in the world, with some claims putting it at second behind only Mt. Fuji in Japan. It is estimated that 15,000 to 20,000 climbers make the attempt each year, and on a clear spring morning it's common to see a nearly solid line of headlamps stretching from Crater Rock to the summit.
The South Side Route, which begins at Timberline Lodge parking lot (5,924 ft.), is the shortest and by far the most popular route to the summit. Mt. Hood’s popularity and dubious distinction as an “easy non-technical hike” or as a “walk up” is a misconception that tends to increase the number of deaths on the mountain. These inexperienced climbers in conjunction with severe weather (which can move in quickly) or the ever present danger of avalanches, rock and ice fall account for most accidents.

As of May 2002, more than 130 people are known to have died climbing Mount Hood since records have been kept.
