The top of Mount Hood (Pearly Gates) is at elevation 11,249 feet above sea level and approximately 7,200 feet above the valley floor near Lake Trillium. The small Community, Ski Resort of Timberline is located at approximately 6000 feet in elevation. No trees grow above that level with yearly snow caps covering the upper elevations.
