In 2010, the United States Mint released a quarter honoring Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon as part of the America the Beautiful Quarters Program. The Mount Hood quarter features a design depicting Mount Hood, the highest peak in Oregon and a prominent feature of the state's landscape. In the foreground, Lost Lake and a stand of trees are depicted. The design also includes the inscriptions "Mount Hood," "Oregon," "2010," and "E Pluribus Unum."
Mount Hood National Forest is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering diverse recreational activities such as hiking, skiing, fishing, and camping. The quarter's design captures the scenic beauty of the area, highlighting Mount Hood and the surrounding natural environment that makes this national forest a cherished location for both locals and visitors.
