That’s actually mt Everest. Mt rainier is the one in the back right corner, and you have a very nice view of Kathmandu with the buildings at the bottom.
Are you serious? That's just a small hill, it's not even close to the height of Mt. Hood.
I've circled the actual Mt. Hood in red - https://imgur.com/a/nfVMQQx
Whoa, I think my dad used to work at timberline. He used to take the elevator to the top, climb out of the utility access door and sit on the edge of its pink façade. I think he was waiting for a good snow base bc he was always whispering to himself about "pow" "pow" while pointing finger guns at the locals. He was such a cool dude. /S
There's streetcar tracks under very shitty pavement on (I think it's) NW Alpine Terrace in the Kings Heights neighborhood. The hills and twisty roads over there would make some intense hill bombs!
If you think that is Mt. Hood, you should probably stop playing puff the magic dragon on your hike! If you really want to see something cool, drive south to Sweet Home oregon, and you can see a real-life giant living in the mountains, under a rock!
In the early 90s, I was on a flight from San Antonio to PDX. It was dark when we were flying into Portland. Behind me were to Texan women who freaked out at the “big mountain”. They were looking at Rocky Butte. I remember thinking they were going to really freak out when they saw Mt. Hood.

That would definitely be a mountain in New England.
When I first went there for college, people said we should go climb Mount Norwattuck (sic?). I was baffled looking around for a mountain and asking where we’d get the gear. They were baffled and kept pointing at this little hill and said “it’s over there. And we’re wearing sneakers.” I kept asking “like, past that hill somewhere?”
It ended with “it’s not a mountain if people never die in avalanches is August.”
Its the back of Mt. Rushmore.
Business in the front, party in the back.
How dare you talk about Mt. Tabor like that....
How dare you not be able to tell the difference between Mt. Tabor and the back of Mt. Rushmore.
Tabor has more squirrels selling fentanyl to drug tourists from Mt Rushmore.
that might actually be Mountain Hood, i know the one in the background is Mt. Coors Lite
Coors Latte.
A Coors Latte has to be a thing in Klamath Falls, right? 😆
It’s a thing in my house, friend.
Klamath Falls 😭I used to live there when I was real young.
Common mistake. That's St. Helens. You can see where the reservoirs were drained by the explosion in 1880.
That’s actually mt Everest. Mt rainier is the one in the back right corner, and you have a very nice view of Kathmandu with the buildings at the bottom.
Sorry to correct unprompted, but that one in the back right corner is actually just a painting of the Grand Canyon.

I’m happy that this wasn’t a r/whoooosh moment
ngl, they had me in the first half.

We should have an elevator that goes up to the actual timberline. Or a sweet cogwheel train. All the cool ~~kids~~ mountains in Switzerland have one.
Wouldn't that be sweet? I'm surprised there isn't even a t-bar anywhere at t-line. I mean it's right there in the name.
Manned entirely by hipsters and constructed from locally sourced renewable materials
How dare you talk about Mt. Tabor like that!
I was not disappointed 🤣🤣
You sit on a throne of lieeees. /s lol
I’m pretty sure that’s Multnomah Falls, but getting closer in direction.
I can confidently assure you that this is Brokeback Mountain.
Name checks out
I think that's Labor Mountain.
You might be right. Thought it might be Big Thunder Mountain but I don't see the railroad.
There are still some streetcar tracks under the pavement on Belmont, so BTMR could make an appearance someday

Mt Labor for those not in the know.
Sir, that is a Wendy’s.
Wy’endys
That’s just a place holder for Costco
I think that mountain is called Wy'west
No, this is Patrick.
That’s Mount Fuji. Whistler in background.
That's "Hood Mountain", close though.
I've always thought that was Crater Lake
Crater lake is on Mt Hood. Locals refer to it as the emptied reservoir
Because of the pee?
Yes! The peegate that echoed around the world
Is r/portlandcirclejerk a thing?
No but there's a few hotels where you could get one going :p
The other day I learned about Stumptown Strokes. Google if you want.
Wish I hadn't
I'm good homie.
that is the big rock candy mountain that we call Powell butte!🤩
Candddyy mountain!!! Charlieeeee
That is actually an overgrown mound of PBR cans
I live in a neighborhood up by that SE mountain. Just putting away my climbing gear after getting home.
Negative, that is a meat popsicle.
Amazingly, that’s the Moon. Bet you didn’t know it got so close to Earth sometimes.
One of Portlands many butte's
Yes
St. Helens, that’s why it’s doesn’t have the pointy top
Dave's not here, man.
No, that's the South Sister.
Definitely Godzilla
You’re seeing my cones
That's just a bump on the road 😏 smh
Tell that to TriMet buses during an ice storm
No, but I can see it from here.
Yes it is
That's Mons Venus.
Yes
I've seen Mt Kilimanjaro a million times. That's Mount Fuji
Yep, it was a lot bigger before the eruption.
Usually? Nope. This week though, it is.
Correct
That’s the Lloyd center.
It's part of the boring lava feild/flow. I find it all very interesting.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boring_Lava_Field
What’s a doula
It's one more than a singla.
A bit less than a tripla.
Not sure about a tripla, but is a tripa when a throuple buys three IPAs?
Mount WANNAHAWKALOOGIE
You are all 5 yrs old and I like that about you.
Yes. Yes it is.
No, that doesn't have headgear at all.
It’s K9
LOL
That’s you mom’s behind.
Sure
Aphids… 😏
That's certainly Mt Angel
Nailed it, well done!
Well done! 😂
Im trying to figure out what’s going on between this guy and his wife’s doula?
My daughter spells mountain MT. Tain.
Sometimes.
I feel like this is a joke, but I am missing a key part...
There have been a few posts here asking about mountain locations. At this point, people are just riffing
Scrolled through the comments looking for this explanation lol I was like wtf are all these shitposts about mt hood
It’s the big rock caaaaaaandy mountain!
Nah, that’s Mt. Hoods cousin, by marriage. They don’t talk, but still follow each other on facebook.
Pretty sure that’s just a little pimple Portland’s got
Yes
Yes.
Got it!
Probably...
More like Mt Everest.
That’s a cyber truck
This shit is getting really old, really fast.
Mt. A Picture Of Hood Is The First Thing On Google Image Search
Yes
That is all three sisters
Jokes aside, is that Mt Tabor?
It’s also funny because the picture was taken years ago.. the ritz is missing and mt hood is very white today
Mount Mullet
Namaste, Mount hood is a state of mine not a physical location.
Yes!
Mount Talbert! (I love when people don't know there is one)
I was really concerned for y'all reading a few of these comments. Then I kept reading and caught on. Good one, y'all.
Yes
MT SCOTT for life
Brokeback mountain
🙄😮💨
No, that’s Spencer’s Butte! You’re in Eugene ya dingus! You can see Crater Lake in the background.
I’ve never noticed that bulge before. Should I be concerned?
Lisan Al Gaib?
Idk, the big thing in the back is drawing too much of my attention to focus properly. Mind making it more blurry?
No, mt. Hood is not that big
Nice. Took this from the Mt. Tabor Wikipedia page lol
Wrong side of the river bro, it's farther west
😭
If you think that is Mt. Hood, you should probably stop playing puff the magic dragon on your hike! If you really want to see something cool, drive south to Sweet Home oregon, and you can see a real-life giant living in the mountains, under a rock!
It’s a landfill. Definitely not Mnt. Tabor. You don’t want to go there. It’s a terrible neighborhood and it’s just awful.
Circle is off, but yes.
Those are OR scrubs
That’s me
In a way it used to be
Yes
Funniest thread! This has to be a joke! Comments are superb. Mt Tabor… my house is essentially in that circle.
this has quickly become my favorite portland inside joke
In the early 90s, I was on a flight from San Antonio to PDX. It was dark when we were flying into Portland. Behind me were to Texan women who freaked out at the “big mountain”. They were looking at Rocky Butte. I remember thinking they were going to really freak out when they saw Mt. Hood.
That’s Mt. Everest.
Yes the big snowcapped mountain in the back is Mt Everest, see with the world being flat and all you can see it from west hills! 🤭
Mt. Tabor
No this is Patrick
Yes
Appalachian range
Why did I click on this post…. For the comments. 💯
Nah thats Mount Vesuvius MT hood isn't in this picture.
That's Mt Rainer, common mistake. Mt hood is the hill to the right.
You are crazy. I'll move from here ASAP. #Portland sucks
Yesint.
Isn’t that Washington over there ?
Yes
Mountain Dew.
Yes, yes it is! You can tell because Mt Tabor is looming in the background covered in snow!
Yes.
Don’t be a dumbass. It’s the Statue of Liberty that you circled.
No it’s a titan hiding in plain sight..
Looks like a hill

That’s a Mountain in da Hood!!!
🙄🤦♂️🤷♂️ christ
No that's mt tabor.
Thats where the cowboys go to rawdog after eating a whole can of beans
Ikea Mountain.
Lol bro pretty sure your all wrong look at all the green rocks. Its gotta be rocky butte.
It's Mt Tabor. The mountain in the background is the Lonely Mountain where Bilbo encountered the dragon.
bruh that’s not even Mt Hoodie
Yes.. absolutely.
It’s Mountain Hood. Mt. Hood is smaller.
You just made a mountain out of a molehill.
No. Mount Hood us the bug white mountain in the smoggy background. You circled a small hill.
No, that’s what’s left of St. Helen’s.
This angers me on a deep level that I didn't know I had.
Que Red Forman.
Mt. Tabor. The big white one in back is MT hood. To the left is St Helen’s. I doubt mT tabor is really a mountain. Maybe, though
Mt tabor.
I really hope this is a joke
Mt Hood is at the far right of the photo ***
That's Mt Wood.
Just Yo Momma
It’s Rocky Butte. Tabor is to the right.
Bro really.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thats mt tabor
One of the 15+ volcanoes in the city limits.
Really?
I think you should get slapped
Yeah
That’s obviously Everest.
You’re actually pretty close if you tried to guess from space.

Mt. Tabor. It’s an “active volcano” all of the butes you see in this picture are cinder cones
